Question

A pyramid has a square base. The ratio of the base edge to the height of the pyramid is 2:9. If the base edge is 8 units, what is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

The ration of the base edge to the height of the pyramid is 1 : 4.5

In this case the base edge is 8 units so the height would be 36 units.

Volume of the pyramid 1/3 * A * H

Multiply those numbers together and you end up with 96 units ^ 3 as the answer.



Hope this helps you in finding the volume of the pyramid!
