Question

a soild right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm. which expression represents the volume of the pyramid

Answer 1

Answer:

The volume of the pyramid is $V=\frac{1}{3}(x^{2})(y)\ cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the pyramid is equal to

$V=\frac{1}{3}BH$

where

B is the area of the base

H is the height of pyramid

we know that

The area of the base is

$B=x^{2}\ cm^{2}$

The height is equal to

$H=y\ cm$

substitute

$V=\frac{1}{3}(x^{2})(y)\ cm^{3}$
