Answer:
<em>V = 1,568</em>
Step-by-step explanation:
<u>The Volume of a Square Pyramid</u>
Given a square-based pyramid of base side a and height h, the volume can be calculated with the formula:
We are given a square pyramid with a base side a=14 ft but we're missing the height. It can be calculated by using the right triangle shown in the image attached below, whose hypotenuse is 25 ft and one leg is 7 ft
We use Pythagora's theorem:
Solving for h:
The height is h=24 ft. Now the volume is calculated:
V = 1,568
