Please help.


Whats thr volume of a right pyramid whose base is a square with a side 6m long and whose altitude is equal to the base side?

Verified Answer :

V=(1/3)(area of the base)(altitude)

V=
(1/3)(6²)(6)= 72 m³

Answer:  \(72\text{ cubic meters}\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: The base of the right pyramid is square with side = 6 m

Since, the altitude (h) is equals to the base , thus h=6m.

We know that the volume of the square pyramid is given by :_

\(\text{Volume}=\frac{1}{3}a^2h\), where a is the side of the square.

Then, the volume of the given right pyramid is given by :_

\(\text{Volume}=\frac{1}{3}(6)^2(6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Volume}=72\text{ cubic meters}\)
