Question

@Michele_Laino

Answer 1

we have to compute the area of the base triangle

Answer 2

as first step, of course

Answer 3

the volume is not 96 cm^3

Answer 4

Alright, what formula should I apply?

Answer 5

here it is:
\[\Large volume = \left( {base\;area} \right) \times height\]

Answer 6

base area= \((6 \times 8)/2=...?\)

Answer 7

24

Answer 8

then:
volume = \(24 \times 7=...?\)

Answer 9

168

Answer 10

that's right!

Answer 11

That's the total volume ? :)

Answer 12

yes!

Answer 13

it is a pyramid, so we have to apply this formula:
\[\Large volume = \frac{{\left( {base\;area} \right) \times height}}{3}\]

Answer 14

now, we have:
base area = \(6 \times 6=...?\)

Answer 15

it is the area of a square

Answer 16

\[\frac{ 1 }{ 2 }*(36)(8)\]

Answer 17

more precisely, we can write this:
\[\Large volume = \frac{{\left( {base\;area} \right) \times height}}{3} = \frac{{36 \times 8}}{3} = ...?\]

Answer 18

96 :)

Answer 19

that's right! :)
