What is the volume of the rectangle Pyramid

1 answer

To calculate the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you can use the formula:

Volume = (1/3) x base area x height

First, calculate the base area of the rectangular pyramid, which is the area of the rectangle formed by the base of the pyramid:

Base area = length x width
Base area = 12cm x 4cm
Base area = 48cm^2

Next, calculate the volume of the rectangular pyramid using the base area and the height of the pyramid:

Volume = (1/3) x 48cm^2 x 3cm
Volume = (1/3) x 144cm^3
Volume = 48cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 48 cubic centimeters.
