Question

A regular pyramid with a square base is shown in the diagram below. A side, s, of the base of

the pyramid is 13 meters, and the height, h, is 35 meters. What is the volume of the pyramid
in cubic meters? Round your answer to the nearest tenth if necessary.

Answer 1

• 1971.7 m³

----------------

The square base has side length of 13 m, then its area is:

• B = s²
• B = 13² = 169 m²

The height is 35.

Find the volume:

• V = Bh/3
• V = 169*35/3 = 1971.7 m³ (rounded)
