Question

Find the volume of this square
based pyramid.
10 in
12 in
[ ? ]

Answer 1

Answer:

480 in.^3

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of pyramid = (1/3) * (area of base) * height

Since this pyramid has a square for the base, the area of the base is

A = s^2, where s = length of the side of the square

volume = (1/3) * s^2 * h

volume = (1/3)(12 in.)^2 * (10 in.)

volume = (1/3)(144)(10) in.^3

volume = 480 in.^3

Answer 2

Answer:

480 in^3

Solution,

$volume \: of \: square \: pyramid \\ = {a}^{2} h \times \frac{1}{3} \\ = {12}^{2} \times 10 \times \frac{1}{3} \\ = 144 \times 10 \times \frac{1}{3} \\ = 480 \: {in}^{3}$

Hope this helps..
