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

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:
Solution,
[tex]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} [/tex]
Hope this helps..
