Question

A square pyramid has a volume of 1024 cm3. If one edge of the square base is 16 cm, find the height.

Answer 1

Explanation:

v = 1/3* L * w * h

1024 = 1/3 * 16 * 16 * height

1024 = 85.3333333 * height

divide both sides by 85.3 to isolate height = 12 cm

check your work

1024 = 1/3 * 16 * 16 * 12

1024 = 1024

yes they equal so its correct
