Question

Luis has a pyramid shaped plant pot. It has a square base with a side length of

Answer 1

Answer:

The soil will occupy in 11664cm³ of the pot which is 3/4 or 0.75 of the squared based pyramid pot.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square based pyramid = V = a²h/3

a = base edge or side length = 36cm

h = height = 36cm

V = 36² × 36/3

V = 15552cm³

Luis wants to fill the pot with soil so that the soil takes up 75 % the pot's volume.

75% of the pot's volume =

75/100 × 15552cm³

= 11664cm³

The soil will occupy 11664cm³ of the pot which is 3/4 or 0.75 of the squared based pyramid pot.
