Question

a square pyramid has a height of 14 cm and a base side length of 7 cm. What is the volume of the pyramid. Show work

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid or cone is:

V = ⅓ Ah

where A is the area of the base and h is the height.

The pyramid has a square base, so:

A = s²

A = (7 cm)²

A = 49 cm²

The height is 14 cm, so the volume is:

V = ⅓ (49 cm²) (14 cm)

V = 686/3 cm³

V ≈ 228.67 cm³
