How does an underestimate relate to rounding factors before estimating?

1 answer:

5 0

If factors are only rounded up, then the estimate is an overestimate. If factors are only rounded down, then the estimate is an underestimate. When some factors are rounded up and some are rounded down, it is harder to tell whether the estimate is an overestimate or an underestimate.

What is the volume of the square pyramid with base edges 18 m and slant height 15 m

vlada-n [284]

check the picture below.

so it has a base of 18x18 and a height of that much.

$\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}Bh~~ \begin{cases} B=area~of\\ \qquad its~base\\ h=height\\ ------\\ B=\stackrel{18\times 18}{324}\\ h=12 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}(324)(12)\implies V=1296$
