@Hero

Hero:

Okay, this is the last question I will help you with. I have to get back to work afterwards.

johnnn:

okay ty

Hero:

So what is the formula for volume of a square pyramid?

johnnn:

V=a^2 h/3

Hero:

Okay, have you attempted to find the height of the pyramid? Have you entered the given values into the formula?

johnnn:

yes but i got the wrong answer

Hero:

show me what you entered into the formula.

johnnn:

102 = 6.5/6.5

Hero:

That is not correct as entered. Are you sure you included everything? Something appears to be missing. Like what happened to the h and the 3?

johnnn:

idk what to put as H

Hero:

That's what you have to FIND

Hero:

Still doesn't explain why the 3 disappeared.

Hero:

BTW, what do you think is the value for \(a\)?

johnnn:

102

Hero:

Isn't that the value of V?

Hero:

The formula for Volume of a Square Pyramid is \[V = a^2\dfrac{h}{3}\] where \(V\) represents the VOLUME of the pyramid, \(a\) represents the length of one base edge and \(h\) represents the HEIGHT (what we need to find).

Hero:

What is the length of one edge of the base?

Hero:

BTW, the value of V, you had that entered correctly for your first attempt at this.

johnnn:

7.24 is the answer. ty

johnnn:

that really helped. I appreciate it
