Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 12, point, 4, ft, squared12.4 ft 2 and the height of the pyramid is 5, ft5 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic foot.
To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
Given that the base area is 12.4 ft^2 and the height is 5 ft, we can plug these values into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 12.4 * 5
Volume = (1/3) * 62
Volume = 20.67 ft^3
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 20.7 ft^3.
