Question

If the volume of the pyramid shown is 108 inches cubed, what is the area of its base?

Answer 1

The question is missing the figure. So, the figure is attached below.

Answer:

The area of the base of the pyramid is 36 square inches.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume of the pyramid is, $V=108\ in^3$

The height of the pyramid is, $h=9\ in$

Let the area of the base be 'A'.

So, the volume of the pyramid is given as:

$V=\frac{1}{3}Ah$

Rewrite the given formula in terms of 'A'. This gives,

$A=\frac{3V}{h}$

Now, plug in 108 for 'V', 9 for 'h' and solve for 'A'. This gives,

$A=\frac{3\times 108}{9}\\\\A=3\times 12\\\\A=36\ in^2$

Therefore, the area of the base of the pyramid is 36 square inches.
