Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is 6.1\text{ m}6.1 m and the height of the pyramid is 4.7\text{ m}4.7 m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.

Answer 1

Answer:

58.3m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of a pyramid = 1/3 x length x width x height

1/3 x (6.1 x 6.1 x 4.7) = 58.3 m^3

the tenth is the first number after the decimal place. To convert to the nearest tenth, look at the number after the tenth (the hundredth). If the number is greater or equal to 5, add 1 to the tenth figure. If this is not the case, add zero
