Question

Define a function pyramid_volume with parameters base_length, base_width, and pyramid_height, that returns the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base. Sample output with inputs: 4.5 2.1 3.0 Volume for 4.5, 2.1, 3.0 is: 9.45 Relevant geometry equations: Volume

Answer 1

Hi, you haven't provided the programing language in which you need the code, I'll just explain how to do it using Python, and you can apply a similar method for any programming language.

Answer:

1. def pyramid_volume(base_length, base_width, pyramid_height):

2.     volume = base_length*base_width*pyramid_height/3

3.     return(volume)

Explanation step by step:

1. In the first line of code, we define the function pyramid_volume and it's input parameters
2. In the second line, we perform operations with the input values to get the volume of the pyramid with a rectangular base, the formula is V = l*w*h/3
3. In the last line of code, we return the volume  

In the image below you can see the result of calling the function with input 4.5, 2.1, 3.0.
