Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is 14.4m and the height of the pyramid is 15.3m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.
Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is 14.4m and the height of the pyramid is 15.3m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.
Write Dimensions: Write down the given dimensions.Side length of base = 14.4m, Height of pyramid = 15.3m.
Use Volume Formula: Use the formula for the volume of a pyramid, V=31×base area×height.
Calculate Base Area: Calculate the area of the square base, Area=side length×side length.Area=14.4m×14.4m.
Plug into Formula: Perform the multiplication to find the base area.Base area = 207.36m2.
Calculate Volume: Plug the base area and height into the volume formula. V=(31)×207.36m2×15.3m.
Calculate Volume: Plug the base area and height into the volume formula. V=31×207.36m2×15.3m.Calculate the volume.V=31×207.36×15.3.V=69.12×15.3.V=1057.536m3.
