An pyramid is displayed with the height of 6 yd base yd and radius 11 yd

what is the volume of the pyramid to the nearest while unit?

99 yd^3
132 yd^3
198 yd^3
396 yd^3

1 answer

We can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid: V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

First, we need to find the area of the base. Since the base is circular, we can use the formula for the area of a circle: A = πr^2, where r is the radius.

A = π(11 yd)^2 = 121π yd^2 (rounded to the nearest whole number, this is approximately 380 yd^2)

Now we can plug in the values we have:

V = (1/3)(121π yd^2)(6 yd)

V ≈ 396 yd^3

So the answer is 396 yd^3 (rounded to the nearest whole number).
