Question

The volume of a pyramid with a square base is 32 cubic centimeters. If its height is
4 centimeters more than the side of its base, what is the height? 2 centimeters

4 centimeters

6 centimeters

8 centimeters

Answer 1

\[V=1/3* h * A_{base}\]
but h=a+4, A=(h-4)^2
now you plug that back in,
\[V=1/3* h * (h-4)^2\]
now you can solve for h,since you know V

Answer 2

if you do not want to solve this equation, just plug in all of the choice you have for h, and check whether the equality holds

Answer 3

Is it 6? :) @P0sitr0n
