Question

A rectangular pyramid has a volume of 210 cubic centimeters. Find two possible sets of measurements for the base area and height of the pyramid.

Answer 1

630 cm 3 is the answer to the question

Answer 2

To find 2 possible sets of dimensions you will use the formula for finding the volume of a prism.

V = 1/3Bh, where B is the area of the base.

210 = 1/3Bh
630 = Bh; this means the area of the B time the height must equal 630

Find 3 factors that will give you 630.

Ex #1: 10 cm (length) x 6 cm (width) x 9 cm (height)

Ex #2: 5 cm (length) x 9 cm(width) x 14 cm(height)
