A pyramid 8cm high stands on a rectangular base 6cm by 4cm. Calculate

Question

the volume

Answer 1

of the pyramid.

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is (1/3) x base area x height.

To find the base area, we can use the formula for the area of a rectangle: length x width.

Base area = 6cm x 4cm = 24cm^2

Now we can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:

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

Volume = (1/3) x 24cm^2 x 8cm

Volume = 64cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 64 cubic centimeters.
