An artist wants to make alabaster pyramids using a block of alabaster with a volume of 576 cubic inches. She plans to make each pyramid with a square base area of 3 square inches and a height of 4 inches. At most, how many pyramids can the artist make from the block of alabaster?

136

144

154

166

172

Answer 1

Volume of Pyramid = area of base * height * 1/3
Volume of Pyramid = 3 * 4 * 1/3 = 4 ins^3


The artist can make 576/4
= 144 pyramids out of the block of alabaster.
