Question

What’s the volume of the pyramid

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the given pyramid is 300 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid, $V_{pyramid}$, is given as follows;

$V_{pyramid} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times Base \ area \times Height$

The height of the pyramid = 12 cm

The side length of the square base of the pyramid = 5 cm

The base area of the pyramid polyhedron with square base = 5 cm × 5 cm = 25 cm²

Therefore, by substitution, we have;

$V_{pyramid} = \dfrac{1}{3} \times 25 \ cm^2 \times 12 \ cm = 300 \ cm^3$

The volume of the given pyramid, V = 300 cm³.
