Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 6.9ft2 and the height of the pyramid is 3.1ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.Answer: ft3
Recall Volume 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 volume formula.The base area A is given as 6.9 square feet and the height h is given as 3.1 feet.So, V=(31)×6.9 ft2×3.1 ft.
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the values from Step 2.V=31×6.9ft2×3.1ft=31×21.39ft3=7.13ft3.
Round Answer: Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot. The calculated volume is 7.13ft3, which is already to the nearest tenth, so rounding is not necessary.
