The volume of it is 1125 cubic inches, the length is 18 inches, and the width is 15 inches. Can you also show me how to do because I have a test on it Monday. Thanks!
I'm trying to find the height of the rectangular pyramid
The general formula for the volume of a pyramid is:
Area of the base * Height * 1/3
The volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is equal to:
Length_of_base * Width_of_base * Height * 1/3

1125 = 18 * 15 * h * 1/3
1125 = 90h
1126/90 = h
12.5111 = h
Thank you so much Ms.sue your a life saver!!!
You're very welcome, Jessica.
Of course! I'd be happy to help you find the height of the object.
To find the height, we can use the formula for the volume of a rectangular prism. The volume (V) of a rectangular prism is given by the formula:
V = length * width * height
In this case, we are given that the volume is 1125 cubic inches, the length is 18 inches, and the width is 15 inches. We want to find the height.
We can rearrange the formula to solve for the height:
height = V / (length * width)
Now, let's substitute the given values into the formula:
height = 1125 / (18 * 15)
Calculating this expression will give us the height of the object:
height = 1125 / 270
height ≈ 4.17 inches
So, the height of the object is approximately 4.17 inches.
Make sure to double-check your calculations and show your work step-by-step in your test. Good luck on your test!
