Question

A pyramid has a square base that is 9 inches on a side.If the height of the pyramid is 8 inches, then its volume is 24 cubic inches.

Answer 1

Answer:

The statement is false

The volume of the square pyramid is $V=216\ in^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the square pyramid is equal to

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

we have

$b=9\ in$

$h=8\ in$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}(9)^{2}(8)$

$V=216\ in^{3}$
