What is the formula for volume of a pyramid?
OpenStudy (b.r):
volume of pyramid
= (1/3) area of base x height
I believe.
OpenStudy (fibonaccichick666):
so what is the area of the base? what is the height?
OpenStudy (b.r):
Would the answer be 441 yd3?

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
yes ! thats the base area.
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
use it in ur volume formula
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
volume of pyramid = (1/3) area of base x height
= (1/3) *63 * height
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
look at the given pyramid,
wats the height ?
OpenStudy (b.r):

ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
height is simply "7"
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
so, volume of pyramid =
(1/3) * 63 * 7
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
simplifyy
OpenStudy (b.r):
idk. 147?
ganeshie8 (ganeshie8):
