Question

Which equation should be used to find the volume of the figure?

V=1/3(10)(6)(12)
V=1/2(10)(6)(12)
V=1/3(10)(6)(13)
V=1/2(10)(6)(13)

Answer 1

A. V = 1/3 (10)(6)(12)

Explanation:

Just took the test and got it right

Answer 2

The answer is option 1.

Explanation:

Given that the volume of pyramid formula is:

`v = (1)/(3) * base \: area * height`

The base area for this pyramid:

`base \: area = area \: of \: rectangle`

`base \: area = 10 * 6`

Then you have to substitute the following values into the formula:

`let \: base \: area = 10 * 6 \\ let \: height = 12`

`v = (1)/(3) * 10 * 6 * 12`
