Question

Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is

12 ft and the height of the pyramid is 7.1 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

340.8

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of an object is a consideration of the dimensions of the object with respect to 3 dimensions.

volume of a pyramid = x base area x height

But,

base area = length x width

= 12 x 12

= 144 square feet

So that,

volume of the pyramid = x 144 x 7.1

= x 1022.4

= 340.8

The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.

Answer 2

The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of an object is a consideration of the dimensions of the object with respect to 3 dimensions.

volume of a pyramid =
`(1)/(3)` x base area x height

But,

base area = length x width

= 12 x 12

= 144 square feet

So that,

volume of the pyramid =
`(1)/(3)` x 144 x 7.1

=
`(1)/(3)` x 1022.4

= 340.8

The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.
