Question

Find the volume of the triangular pyramid to the nearest whole number.

Answer 1

The volume of any pyramid can be defined as: $V = \frac{1}{3} Bh$ where V is volume, B is the area of the base of the pyramid, and h is the height of the pyramid.  

In our problem:
B = area of the triangular Base
B = (.5)(12)(10)
B = 60

h = 17

$V= \frac{1}{3} (60)(17)$
V = 340in³
Choice B

Answer 2

The correct answer is B) 340 in*3
