To find the volume of the square pyramid, you can use the formula: V = (1/3) * base area * height.
The base area of the pyramid is a square with side length 10 feet, so the base area is 10 * 10 = 100 square feet.
The height of the pyramid is the length of the line segment labeled 13 feet.
Using the formula, the volume of the pyramid is V = (1/3) * 100 * 13 = 433.3 cubic feet.
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume is approximately 433.3 ft3.
For the following question, find the volume of the square pyramid shown. Round to the nearest tenth if necessary.
A right square pyramid is shown. The sides of the square base measure 10 feet. A line segment which is labeled 13 feet extends from the middle of a side of the base along a triangular surface to the vertex at the top of the pyramid. A small square is located where the dashed line intersects with the base.
