To solve, we use the volume of a square pyramid formula which is expressed as the product of the area of the base (a²) and the height divided by three(h/3).
Volume = a² (h/3)
1024 in³ = (a²) (12 in/3)
a² = 1024 in³ · 3 /12
a = √256 in²
a = 16 in
Thus, the length of the base is 16 in.
Area of a square:
A= side^2
= (6x + 1) ^2
=<u> 36x^2 + 12x + 1 feet^2</u>
The answer is x equals 2.
