Question

What is the base and height of a square pyramid when the volume is 1 million?

Answer 1

The formula for volume of a pyramid is:

V = 1/3 (area of base) x (height)

There are many answers that would work.  For example the base could be 100 ft. x 100 ft. and the height could be 300 ft.

Or you could have the base be 200 ft. x 200 ft and the height could be 75 ft.

You need to specify more about the slope of the pyramid or some other constraints.

Answer 2

Okay, so the formula for finding the volume is 1/2b times h=v, right?

So the base would be 4, the height would be 500,000.

[there's probably other answers...this is what i thought of first.]

Half of the base(4), is 2. 2x500,000=1mil
