What is the volume of the pyramid?
A solid right pyramid has a square base. The length of the
base edge is 4 cm and the height of the pyramid is 3 cm.

Respuesta :

Answer: 16 cm^2.

Step-by-step explanation: The volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third the product of the area of the base and the height:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}A*h[/tex]

In this case, the base is a square, so its area is:

A=L^2 where "L" is the lenght of the base edge

So the volume would be:

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}L^{2} *h[/tex]

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}4^{2} *3[/tex]

V=16*3/3

[tex]V=16cm^{2}[/tex]
