Find the volume of a Pyramid with a square base where the side length of the base is 10.6 in and the height of the Pyramid is 12.3in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch

Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid can be calculated using the formula: V = (1/3)Bh where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

Since the base of the pyramid is a square with a side length of 10.6 inches, the area of the base is:

B = s^2 = 10.6^2 = 112.36 square inches

Substituting B = 112.36 and h = 12.3 into the formula for the volume of a pyramid, we get:

V = (1/3)Bh = (1/3)(112.36)(12.3) = 464.14 cubic inches

Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch, we get:

V ≈ 464.1 cubic inches.
