The maximum volume of a square pyramid that can fit inside a cube would be when the base of the pyramid is the same size as the base of the cube. Since the base of the cube has a side length of 15cm, the maximum volume of the square pyramid that can fit inside would be:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
Volume = (1/3) * 15^2 * 15
Volume = (1/3) * 225 * 15
Volume = (1/3) * 3375
Volume = 1125 cm^3
Rounded to the nearest whole number, the maximum volume of the square pyramid that can fit inside the cube is 1125 cm^3.
There is a cube with a side length of 15cm. What is the maximum volume of a square pyramid that can fit inside the cube? Round your answer to the nearest whole number (1 point) volume= Box cm^ 3
