Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is 16, ft16 ft and the height of the pyramid is 10, point, 6, ft10.6 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.

Answer 1

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

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

First, find the area of the square base:
Base area = side length * side length
Base area = 16 ft * 16 ft
Base area = 256 sq ft

Now, plug in the base area and height into the formula to find the volume of the pyramid:
V = (1/3) * 256 sq ft * 10.6 ft
V = (1/3) * 2713.6 cubic ft
V = 904.5 cubic ft

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 904.5 cubic feet.
