Question

A gemstone is cut in the shape of a triangular pyramid. The area of the base of the pyramid is 42 square millimeters. The height of the pyramid is 4 millimeters. What is the volume of the gemstone? (Recall the formula V = one-third B h.)

Answer 1

Answer:

the volume of the gemstone is 56 millimeters^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The computation of the volume of the gemstone is shown below:

As we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is

= (1 ÷ 3) × (base area) × h

Now put the given values to the above formula

= 1 ÷ 3 × 42 × 4

=  56 millimeters^3

Hence, the volume of the gemstone is 56 millimeters^3

The above formula should be used and the same should be considered
