Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
This looked very difficult UNTIL I looked at the pyramid as ONE HALF of a larger pyramid! Image a mirror image of the pyramid creating a pyramid that is 12 cm of the front and back side and 6 cm on the left and right edge.
IT IS NO LONGER A SQUARE PYAMID so you need the volume for a rectanglar pyramid
The volume of a square pyramide is .....
V = side² × (height / 3)
The volume of a rectangular pyramide is .....
V = base area × (height / 3)
= length × width × (height / 3)
= 12 × 6 × 10 / 3 cm³ BUT REMEMBER we want only HALF of the
= [12 × 3 × 10] divide by 2 cm³ Rectangular pyamid
Volume of the image shown in the diagram is ....
= 360 / 2 cm³
= 180 cm³ <----------------- Final Answer
