Find the volume of the following
square pyramid. Please help
Answer:
Volume of square pyramid is 3466.6 cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
We are given:
Base edge of square pyramid = 20 cm
Height of square pyramid = 26 cm
We need to find Volume of square pyramid
The formula used is: [tex]Volume=\frac{1}{3}a^2h[/tex]
Where a is base edge and h is height of pyramid
Putting values in formula to find the volume
[tex]Volume=\frac{1}{3}a^2h\\Volume=\frac{1}{3}(20)^2(26)\\Volume=\frac{1}{3}(400)(26)\\Volume=\frac{1}{3}(10400)\\Volume=3466.6 \ cm^3[/tex]
So, Volume of square pyramid is 3466.6 cm³
Answer:
3200

THE HEIGHT OF THE PYRAMID: 24
The Explanation for height :
the height, half of one side of the square base, and the slant height form a right triangle
using the Pythagorean Theorem...
262=102+h2 (the slant height is the hypotenuse)
676=100+h2
676-100=h2
576=h2
√576=h
h=24 feet is the height of the pyramid
Step-by-step explanation:
v = ( [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ) · b · h
( [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ) ( 20 · 20 ) ( 24 )
( [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] ) ( 400 ) · ( 24 ) = 3200cm³
