Given:
The dimensions of base are 5 cm and 5cm.
The height of the pyramid is 3 cm.
To find:
The volume of the pyramid.
Solution:
The volume of a pyramid is:
[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}Bh[/tex] ...(i)
Where, B is the base area and h is the height of the pyramid.
The base area of the given pyramid is:
[tex]B=length \times width[/tex]
[tex]B=5 \times 5[/tex]
[tex]B=25[/tex]
Substituting [tex]B=25[/tex] and [tex]h=3[/tex] in (i), we get
[tex]V=\dfrac{1}{3}(25)(3)[/tex]
[tex]V=25[/tex]
Therefore, the volume of the given pyramid is 25 cm³. Hence, the correct option is A.
