A square pyramid has a volume of 560 in to the third power, a base length of 10 in., and a height of 14 in. What is its base width?

My textbook states that the formula v = 1/3lwh relates the volume of a square pyramid to its base length l, width w, and height h. However, I am uncertain whether this information applies to this equation or not.

Substitute the numbers for the letters.

v = 1/3lwh

What do you mean?
Answered by Ms. Sue
v = volume = 560^3
l = length = 10
w = width = ?
h = height = 14

560^3 = 1/3 * 10 * 14?
