Question

Find the volume of the following figure. Round the answer to the nearest hundredth if necessary.

Answer 1

48 yd^3.

Explanation:

Volume of a pyramid = 1/3 * height * area of the base.

The area of the triangular base = 1/2 * height * base = 1/2*6*8

= 24 yd^2.

So the volume of the figure

= 1/3 * 6 * 24

= 2*24

= 48 yd^3.
