Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid that is 15 cm tall and has a base area of 16 square centimeters?

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the square pyramid is $80\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of a pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$

where

B is the area of the base of pyramid

h is the height of the pyramid

in this problem we have

$B=16\ cm^{2}$

$h=15\ cm^{2}$

substitute the values

$V=\frac{1}{3}(16)(15)=80\ cm^{3}$
