Question

Find the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 32 cm and a slant height of 30 cm.

Answer 1

Given Base edge and slant height (l) of pyramid as 32 , 30cm.
To find the height of Pyramid we use
h= √(l2-b2)
= √(302-162) (half of the base value is taken)
= √644
= 25.5cm

Assign the value of base and height value in below formula
Volume of Square Pyramid = 1/3 x b2xh
= 1/3 x322 x 25.5
= 8704cm3
