Question

Find the volume of a pyramid 150 ft high and 250 ft along each side of its aquare base?

Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid is V =1/3 Bh where B is the area of the base and h the height from the base to the apex.

The base of the pyramid is 250².

The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 (250² * 150) or

(250² * 150)/3

(62500 * 150)/3

9375000/3

3,125,000 Cubic Feet

Answer 2

Area of the base * Height * 1/3 = Volume

250ft^2 * 150ft * 1/3 = V

62500sqrft*150ft*1/3=V

9375000cubicft.*1/3=V

3125000cubicft=V

Answer 3

your formula is 1/2 the base * the height:

so it would be:

250*250 = 62500/2=31250 <-- area of half the base

31250*150=4687500 ft^3

Hope that helps =D
