Answer 1

Given:

Given that Brinson's family is going camping. Their tent is shaped like a rectangular pyramid.

The volume of the tent is 6000 cubic inches.

The area of the base of the tent is 1200 square inches.

We need to determine the height of the tent.

Height of the tent:

The height of the tent can be determined using the formula,

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

where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

Substituting V = 6000 and B = 1200, we get;

$6000=\frac{1}{3}(1200)h$

$6000=400h$

   $15=h$

Thus, the height of the tent is 15 inches.
