The base of a right pyramid is a rectangle of length 80 cm and width 60 cm. Each slant edge of the pyramid is 230 cm. Calculate the volume of the pyramid.

Answer 1

Attempt to make a 3-D sketch.
The centre of the pyramid will be the intersection of the two diagonals of the base
and they bisect each other.
let d be that diagonal
d^2 = 80^2 +60^2
d = 100
Now draw a right-angled triangle with base 50 , height = h, and hypotenuse = 230
h^2 + 50^2 = 230^2
find h

volume of pyramid = (1/3)(area of base * h)

Answer 2

How did you got base 50 and hy :230
