The formula to calculate the volume of a square pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.
First, calculate the base area of the square pyramid:
Base area = (side length)^2
Base area = 30 cm * 30 cm
Base area = 900 cm2
Now, plug the base area and height into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 900 cm2 * 45 cm
V = (1/3) * 40500 cm3
V = 13,500 cm3
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 13,500 cm3. Hence, the correct answer is 13,500 cm3.
The side length of the base of a square pyramid in 30 centimeters. The height of the pyramid is 45 centimeters. What is the volume of the pyramid in cubic centimeters?
13,500 cm3
40,500 cm3
900 cm3
1,350 cm
