Question

What is the volume of a square pyramid with a base length of 4 cm and a height of 9 cm? Enter your answer in the box. cm³

Answer 1

The volume is 48 cm.

Answer 2

The base length of a square pyramid given = 4 cm

The height given = 9cm.

We have to find the volume of the square pyramid.

The formula to find the volume of the square pyramid is

`V = (1)/(3)a^2h`

Here a = 4 cm and h = 9 cm

To get the volume we will plug in the values of a and h here in the formula.

`V = (1)/(3) (4)^2(9)`

`V = (1)/(3) (16)(9)`

`V = (1)/(3) (144)`

`V = (144)/(3)`

`V = 48`

We have got the required answer.

The volume of the square pyramid =
`48 cm^3`
