To find the missing side of the base of the pyramid, we first need to determine the total perimeter of the base by multiplying the length of one side by the number of sides:
Total perimeter of the base = 4 * 18 = 72 feet
Since the total perimeter of the base is 66 feet, the missing side would be:
Missing side = Total perimeter - Given side = 72 - 18 = 54 feet
Next, we calculate the volume of the pyramid using the formula:
Volume = 1/3 * base area * height
First, we find the base area by calculating the area of the base of the pyramid which is a square:
Area of the base = (18 * 18) = 324 square feet
Given that the height of the pyramid is not provided, we cannot calculate the exact volume. If you know the height of the pyramid, you can plug it into the formula to find the volume.
perimeter of the base of the pyramid is 66 feet. 18 feet is the length of one side of the base. What is the length of the missing side of the base? What is the volume of the pyramid?
