A right pyramid on a base 10m Square is 15m high what is its volume? If the top six metre of the pyramid are removed, what is the volume of the remaining frustum

1 answer

volume of any type of pyramid = (1/3)(base)(height)
Whole pyramid = 1/3 (100^2)(15)
= 50,000 m^3

removed pyramid: need its base,
x/6 = 10/15 -----> x= 60/15 = 4

volume of removed pyramid = (1/3)(4^2)(6) = ...
