What is the volume of the rectangular pyramid? The height is 3m, the length is 8 m and the width is 8.5 m

1 answer

To calculate the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you can use the formula:

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

First, calculate the base area of the rectangular pyramid. Since the base of the pyramid is a rectangle, you can use the formula for a rectangle's area:

Base area = length * width
Base area = 8 * 8.5
Base area = 68 square meters

Now, plug in the values into the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid:

Volume = (1/3) * 68 * 3
Volume = (1/3) * 204
Volume = 68 cubic meters

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 68 cubic meters.
