Find the density of a 40 gram pyramid with rectangular base 5 x 6 cm and height 8 cm.
Density is mass
volume
With those dimensions, the volume of the pyramid is;
V = lw(h/3)
V = (5)(6)(8/3)
V = 80 cm^3
D = 40 g = 1 g/cm^3
80 cm^3
density is mass/volume or g/cm^3 in this case
vpyramid=(1/3)lwh
given
l=6
w=5
h=8
V=(1/3)658
V=2*40
V=80cm^3
mass=40g
density=40g/80cm^3=0.5g/cm^3
0.5 grams per cm^3 is the density
