Natalee wanted to demonstrate the volume of a square pyramid. To do this, she took a hollowed out pyramid that has a base of 25
square inches and a height of 5 inches and filled it with water. She then dumped this water into a hollowed out cube that has a volume of 125 cubic inches. Enter the amount of times that she will need to dump the water from the pyramid into the cube to completely fill the cube
Natalee transferred water from a square pyramid to a cube. To calculate how many times she will need to dump the water from the pyramid into the cube to completely fill the cube, we divide the volume of the cube by the volume of the square pyramid. Hence:
Number of times = volume of cube / volume of pyramid
The perimeter of the pyramid base = 25 in, hence the length of one side of the bae = 25 / 4 = 6.25 in
