Question

What is the volume of the pyramid shown in the diagram?

Answer 1

Well first, we know that the formula for finding the volume for a pyramid is V = 1/3(B)(h).

Answer 2

yes

Answer 3

i was thinking it was 15^3

Answer 4

So if the bottom of the pyramid is a square, and each side equals 3, then multiply 3 by itself four times. What do you get when you do that?

Answer 5

81, right?

Answer 6

81

Answer 7

Okay. It tells you what the height is: 5. So if the formula is V = 1/3(b)(h), then substitute the height and the base that we found into the formula, and that will give you your answer. :) See?

Answer 8

yes thank you

Answer 9

Anytime.
