Question

What is the volume of the square pyramid with base edges 4 m and height 3 m?

Answer 1

Answer:

Volume of the pyramid = 16m³ or 16 cubic meters.

Step-by-step explanation:

The equation for the volume of a pyramid is:

$V=\frac{b*h}{3}$

where b = area of base and h = height.

In this case, the base is a square with a side length of 4m.

Area of the square base = (4m)² = b = 16m²

h = 3m

Insert b and a into the volume of a pyramid equation.

$V=\frac{3m*16m}{3}$

= 16m³

Volume of the pyramid = 16m³ or 16 cubic meters.
