V=31ℓwhThe formula gives the volume V of a rectangular pyramid with base length ℓ, base width w, and height h. What is the volume, in cubic meters, of a rectangular pyramid with a base length of 5 meters, a base width of 4 meters, and a height of 3 meters?
Q. V=31ℓwhThe formula gives the volume V of a rectangular pyramid with base length ℓ, base width w, and height h. What is the volume, in cubic meters, of a rectangular pyramid with a base length of 5 meters, a base width of 4 meters, and a height of 3 meters?
Identify Given Values: Identify the given values from the problem.Base length (ℓ) = 5 metersBase width (w) = 4 metersHeight (h) = 3 metersWe will use these values in the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid.
Write Formula: Write down the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid.The formula is V=31ℓwh.
Substitute Values: Substitute the given values into the formula. V=31×5×4×3
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume. V=(31)×5×4×3=(31)×60=20 cubic meters
