Sara correctly found the volume of the square pyramid to be 1980 ft3 . What is the height of the pyramid? base is 12ft, and the side length is 5ft

Answer 1

To find the height of the pyramid, we can use the formula for the volume of a square pyramid:

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

Given that the volume is 1980 ft^3, the base area (12ft * 12ft) and the side length (5ft), we can find the height:

1980 = (1/3) * 12 * 12 * height
1980 = 48 * height
height = 1980 / 48
height = 41.25 ft

Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 41.25 ft.
