Question

Archeologists found a previously unknown pyramid in Central America, shown in the figure. The media is interested in the volume of this pyramid. Find the volume of the pyramid. A. 192 yd B. 144 ydC. 96 yd D. 64 yd

Answer 1

it is given that,

the height of the pyramid is h = 3 yd

the length of the base is l = 8 yd

the width of the base is b = 8 yd

as we know that the formula for the volume of the pyramid is,

`V=(l* b* h)/(3)`

put the values,

`V=(8*8*3)/(3)`
`V=64\text{ yd\textasciicircum{}3}`

thus, the volume of the pyramid is V = 64 yd^3

and the correct answer is Option D
