Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 60 inches and a height of 10 inches?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume is $12000 in^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

From the question ,

$L= 60\:in.$ and $H=10\:in.$

The volume of a pyramid is given as

$V=\frac{1}{3} \times area\:of\:the\:base \times height$

From the question, the base of the pyramid is a square.

Hence base area is given by $L^{2}$

This implies that the volume of the pyramid is

$=\frac{1}{3} \times L^{2}\times H$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times 60^{2} \times 10$

$=\frac{36000}{3}$

$=12000 in^3$
