Q. Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the perimeter of the base is 14.3cm and the height of the pyramid is 21.2cm. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.Answer: cm3
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, we divide the perimeter by 4. Perimeter of the square base = 14.3cmLength of one side of the square base = Perimeter ÷4Length of one side = 14.3cm÷4
Calculate Side Length: Now, let's calculate the length of one side of the square base.Length of one side = 14.3cm÷4Length of one side = 3.575cm
Calculate Base Area: Next, we calculate the area of the square base using the length of one side.Area of the square base = (Length of one side)Area of the square base = (3.575cm)2
Use Volume Formula: Let's perform the calculation for the area of the square base.Area of the square base = (3.575cm)2Area of the square base = 12.781625cm2
Calculate Volume: Now, we will use the formula for the volume of a pyramid, which is (31)×(base area)×(height). Volume of the pyramid = (31)×(base area)×(height) Volume of the pyramid = (31)×(12.781625cm2)×(21.2cm)
Round to Nearest Tenth: Finally, we calculate the volume of the pyramid.Volume of the pyramid = (31)×(12.781625 cm2)×(21.2 cm)Volume of the pyramid = 90.28875 cm3
Round to Nearest Tenth: Finally, we calculate the volume of the pyramid.Volume of the pyramid = (31)×(12.781625 cm2)×(21.2 cm)Volume of the pyramid = 90.28875 cm3We need to round the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic centimeter.Rounded volume of the pyramid = 90.3 cm3
