Question

A right rectangular pyramid has an altitude of 22.3 inches, a length of 6.75 inches, and a width of 10.25 inches. What is the
volume of the pyramid in cubic inches? (1 point)

Answer 1

The volume of a right rectangular pyramid is given by the formula:

V = (1/3) * base area * height

Where the base area is the product of the length and width.

In this case, the length is 6.75 inches, the width is 10.25 inches, and the height (or altitude) is 22.3 inches.

The base area is 6.75 * 10.25 = 69.1875 square inches.

Plugging these values into the volume formula:

V = (1/3) * 69.1875 * 22.3
V = (1/3) * 1544.3875
V = 514.7958333 cubic inches

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 514.8 cubic inches.
