Question

The volume of the triangular pyramid is 110 cubic centimeters. The base of the triangle is

10cm and the height of the triangle is 6cm. Find the height of the pyramid. ​

Answer 1

The height of the pyramid is 11 cm

Explanation:

Let the height of the pyramid be 'h'

Volume of the triangular pyramid= (1/3) (base area) (height of the pyramid)

110 = (1/3) (1/2) (10) (6) (h)

110 = (1/6) (60) (h)

110 = (10) h

h = 110/10

h = 11 cm

The height of the pyramid is 11cm
