Question

Find the Volume of this Octagonal Pyramid. "B" represents the Area of the octagon base.

Answer 1

Answer:

7.06 x 10^(-7) ft 3

Step-by-step explanation:

We have the formula to calculate the volume of an octagonal Pyraamid as following:

+) Volume of octagonal pyramid = 1/3 * Area of the base * Height

As given, the base of the pyramid is an octagon with area equal to 15mm2

=> Area of the base = 15 mm2

The height of the pyramid is the length of the line segment which is perpendicular to the base - which is the red line.

=> Height = 4mm

So we have:

Volume of octagonal pyramid = 1/3 * Area of the base * Height

= 1/3 * 15 * 4 = 20 mm3

As: 1 mm3 = 3.53 x 10^(-8) ft 3

=> 20 mm3 = 7.06x10^(-7) ft 3

So the volume of the pyramid is :  7.06 x 10^(-7) ft 3
