Question

Find the volume of a square pyramid with a base area of 18 in.² and a height of 6 in

Answer 1

ANSWER

36 cubic inches.

EXPLANATION

The volume of a square pyramid is calculated using the formula:

$V = \frac{1}{3} {l}^{2} \times h$

where l² is the area of the base and h= 6 inches is the height of the square pyramid.

We substitute the values into the formula to get,

$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 18 \times 6 \: {in}^{3}$

We simplify to get:

$V = 6 \times 6 =3 6 {in}^{3}$

Therefore the volume of the square pyramid is 36 cubic inches.
