Questions here.

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

\(\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}=\cfrac{1}{3}{\color{brown}{ base}}\cdot height\) if you solve that for "height", you'd get the .. well, height :) what's the base of that pyramid? well, is a 8*12 rectangle, that is |dw:1457135822540:dw| so, you have the base, and the volume, use that to get the height :)

@KamiBug

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Base : 8*12 = 96 \[224 = \frac{ 1 }{ 3 }*96*h\] Can you solve that for h?

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

yeah :)

OpenStudy (kamibug):

Ok great. ^_^

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

wait can you explain the first step to find h?

OpenStudy (kamibug):

You can multiply both sides by 3 first to cancel out the fraction.

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

ok cool :)

OpenStudy (tylermckinney16):

8*3=24 12*3=36 Like this? @KamiBug

@Directrix

OpenStudy (jdoe0001):

hmmm what did you get for the base anyway?

OpenStudy (kamibug):

@TylerMckinney16 No, don't worry about the 8 and 12 anymore we already multiplied those and got the base of 96 in the equation. :P Focus on what we've filled in the formula...like this... :D|dw:1457152924772:dw|
