Question

What is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Answer: 16 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third the product of the area of the base and the height:

$V=\frac{1}{3}A*h$

In this case, the base is a square, so its area is:

A=L^2 where "L" is the lenght of the base edge

So the volume would be:

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

$V=\frac{1}{3}4^{2} *3$

V=16*3/3

$V=16cm^{2}$
