Question

An artist wants to make alabaster pyramids using a block of alabaster with a volume of 576 cubic inches. She plans to make each pyramid with a square base area of 3 square inches and a height of 4 inches. At most, how many pyramids can the artist make from the block of alabaster?

Answer 1

Volume of pyramid:

$V= \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot A \cdot H$

A - base area
H - height

First count volume of one pyramid:

$V=\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 4=4 [\hbox{inch}^3]$

So by using 576 inch^3 you can make 576 : 4 = 144 pyramids

Answer 2

144
