Question

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is 1.32 cubic inches. The height is 1.1 inches. The length of the base is 1.2 inches. What is the width of the base of the pyramid?

Answer 1

To find the volume of a prism, you must multiply the length, width and height. To work out the width, you must work backwards. 1.32 divided by 1.1= 1.2 (Volume divided by height). 1.2 divided by 1.2= 1 (Answer divided by 1.2= Width of the base) The answer is 1 cm.
