Find the volume of the given pyramid
7yd 7yd 9yd
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is:
V = (1/3) × base area × height
To find the base area, we need to first determine the shape of the base. Since all sides are the same length, we know that it is a square with sides of 7 yards. The area of a square is found by squaring the length of one of its sides:
base area = 7 × 7 = 49 square yards
The height of the pyramid is given as 9 yards. Now we can substitute these values into the formula:
V = (1/3) × 49 × 9 = 147 cubic yards
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 147 cubic yards.
