Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 16.6in2 and the height of the pyramid is 20.9in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.Answer: in 3
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 given as 16.6 in2, and the height h is given as 20.9 in.So, V=(31)×16.6 in2×20.9 in.
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume using the given values.V=31×16.6×20.9=31×347.14 in3.
Simplify Calculation: Simplify the calculation to find the volume. V=3347.14in3=115.713333…in3.
Round Answer: Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch.The volume V rounded to the nearest tenth is approximately 115.7 in3.
