Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 19.3ft2 and the height of the pyramid is 25.3ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.Answer: ft3
Recall Formula: Recall the formula for the volume of a pyramid with a square base.The formula for the volume V of a pyramid with a square base is V=31×base area×height.
Plug in Values: Plug in the given values for the base area and height into the formula.The base area A is 19.3 ft2, and the height h is 25.3 ft. So, V=(31)×19.3 ft2×25.3 ft.
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the given values.V=31×19.3ft2×25.3ft=6.433333…ft2×25.3ft≈162.722999…ft3.
Round Answer: Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.The volume of the pyramid, rounded to the nearest tenth, is approximately 162.7 ft3.
