Question

Stassi is making a structure that is in the shape of a square pyramid. One of the side of the square base is 11 in. long and the volume of the pyramid is 605 in³. What is the height of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer:

Height of the pyramid is 15 in.

Step-by-step explanation:

Stassi is making a structure in the shape of a square pyramid.

One side of the square base is 11 in. and volume is given as 605 in³

We have to calculate the height of the pyramid.

Since volume of pyramid is represented by

V = $\frac{1}{3}$ [area of Base] × height.

Now we plug in the values in the formula

605 = $\frac{1}{3}$ [ 11 × 11 ] × h

h = $\frac{605\times 3}{121}$ = 15 in.

Therefore, height of the pyramid is 15 in.

Answer 2

The height of the pyramid is 15in
