Question

This beach toy is a square pyramid. It has a height of 4 inches and the base has side lengths of 4 inches. What is the volume?

Answer 1

Check the picture below.

$\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}Bh~~ \begin{cases} B=&area~of\\ &its~base\\ h=&height\\ \cline{1-2} B=&\stackrel{4\times 4}{16}\\ h=&4 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}(16)(4)\implies V=\cfrac{64}{3}\implies V=21.\overline{3}$
