Geometry question..

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

I have to find the volume of this figure.

@Michele_Laino

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the formula for the volume of a pyramid is v=lw (h/3)

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

the requested volume, is given by the subsequent formula: \[\huge volume = \frac{{base\;area \times height}}{3}\]

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

and the base area is given by the subsequent formula: \[\huge \begin{gathered} base\;area = \frac{{perimeter \times apothem}}{2} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{\left( {11 \times 5} \right) \times 7.6}}{2} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

209

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

correct!

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

so, the requested volume is: \[\huge \begin{gathered} volume = \frac{{base\;area \times height}}{3} = \hfill \\ \hfill \\ = \frac{{209 \times 12}}{3} = ...? \hfill \\ \end{gathered} \]

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

836

OpenStudy (michele_laino):

that's right!

OpenStudy (shaleiah):

Thank you Michele!
