To find the height of the square pyramid, we can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
Given that the volume is 1980 ft^3, the base area is 12 ft (since it is a square with sides of 12 ft), and the slant height is 5 ft, we can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
1980 = (1/3) * 12 * height
1980 = 4 * height
height = 1980 / 4
height = 495 ft
Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 495 ft.
Sara correctly found the volume of the square pyramid to be 1980 ft3
