Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid with a base length of 4 cm and a height of 9 cm? Enter your answer in the box. cm³

Answer 1

The base length of a square pyramid given = 4 cm

The height given = 9cm.

We have to find the volume of the square pyramid.

The formula to find the volume of the square pyramid is

$V = \frac{1}{3}a^2h$

Here a = 4 cm and h = 9 cm

To get the volume we will plug in the values of a and h here in the formula.

$V = \frac{1}{3} (4)^2(9)$

$V = \frac{1}{3} (16)(9)$

$V = \frac{1}{3} (144)$

$V = \frac{144}{3}$

$V = 48$

We have got the required answer.

The volume of the square pyramid = $48 cm^3$

Answer 2

The volume is 48 cm.
