Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 9.4ft 9.4 \mathrm{ft} and the height of the pyramid is 6.2ft 6.2 \mathrm{ft} . Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.\newlineAnswer: ft3 \mathrm{ft}^{3}
  1. Find Side Length: First, we need to find the length of one side of the square base. Since the perimeter of a square is the sum of all its sides, and a square has four equal sides, we divide the perimeter by 44. \newlinePerimeter of the base = 9.4ft9.4\,\text{ft} \newlineSide of the square base = Perimeter // 44 \newlineSide of the square base = 9.4ft9.4\,\text{ft} // 44
  2. Calculate Side Length: Now, calculate the side length of the square base.\newlineSide of the square base = 9.4ft4\frac{9.4 \, \text{ft}}{4}\newlineSide of the square base = 2.35ft2.35 \, \text{ft}
  3. Calculate Base Area: Next, we calculate the area of the square base by squaring the side length.\newlineArea of the base = (Side of the square base)\newlineArea of the base = (2.35ft)2(2.35 \, \text{ft})^2
  4. Calculate Volume Formula: Perform the calculation for the area of the base.\newlineArea of the base = (2.35ft)2(2.35 \, \text{ft})^2\newlineArea of the base = 5.5225ft25.5225 \, \text{ft}^2
  5. Calculate Volume: Now, we use the formula for the volume of a pyramid, which is (13)×(base area)×(height)(\frac{1}{3}) \times (\text{base area}) \times (\text{height}).
    Volume of the pyramid = (13)×(base area)×(height)(\frac{1}{3}) \times (\text{base area}) \times (\text{height})
    Volume of the pyramid = (13)×5.5225 ft2×6.2 ft(\frac{1}{3}) \times 5.5225 \text{ ft}^2 \times 6.2 \text{ ft}
  6. Final Volume Calculation: Finally, calculate the volume of the pyramid.\newlineVolume of the pyramid = (1/3)×5.5225 ft2×6.2 ft(1/3) \times 5.5225 \text{ ft}^2 \times 6.2 \text{ ft}\newlineVolume of the pyramid = 1/3×34.2395 ft31/3 \times 34.2395 \text{ ft}^3\newlineVolume of the pyramid = 11.41317 ft311.41317 \text{ ft}^3
  7. Round Volume: Round the volume to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot. Volume of the pyramid 11.4\approx 11.4 ft3^3
