The formula for the volume of a pyramid is length*width*height/3.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

The volume of a cube is length*width*height.

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

I don't get b to be the answer. How did you get that?

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Hint* Since the volume of a pyramid is given in the problem as 10, you can set up an equation. 10=length*width*height/3

I really don't know what I did... but ok, thank you!

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

Ok. Do you get a different answer now?

OpenStudy (hanner_b_nanner):

OpenStudy (joannablackwelder):

That's what I get :)
