A pyramid 8cm high stands on a rectangular base 6cm by 4cm. Calculate the volume

Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:

V = (1/3) × base area × height

In this case, the base area is the area of the rectangular base, which is:

A = length × width
A = 6cm × 4cm
A = 24cm²

The height of the pyramid is given as 8cm.

Substituting these values into the formula, we get:

V = (1/3) × 24cm² × 8cm
V = 64cm³

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 64 cubic centimeters.
