Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 17.5ft2 and the height of the pyramid is 14.4ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.Answer: ft3
Identify Formula: Identify the formula to calculate the volume of a pyramid.The volume V of a pyramid with a square base can be calculated using the formula:V=31×base area×height
Plug Values: Plug the given values into the formula.Base area A = 17.5 ft2Height h = 14.4 ftV=31×17.5×14.4
Perform Multiplication: Perform the multiplication before division as per the order of operations.V=31×(17.5×14.4)V=31×252
Calculate Volume: Calculate the volume by dividing the product by 3.V=3252V=84 ft3
Round Answer: Round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.Since the volume is already a whole number, rounding to the nearest tenth would not change the value.V≈84.0 ft3
