Use the volume formula to determine the length of the base of a pyramid that has a volume of 585 cm3 , a width of 15 cm, and an altitude of 9 cm.(1 point)
The volume of a pyramid can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base * height
Given that the volume is 585 cm^3, the width (base) is 15 cm, and the altitude (height) is 9 cm, we can substitute these values into the formula:
585 = (1/3) * 15 * 9
To solve for the base, we can multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
3 * 585 = 15 * 9
1755 = 135
Finally, divide both sides of the equation by 135 to solve for the base:
1755 ÷ 135 = base
Base = 13 cm
Therefore, the length of the base of the pyramid is 13 cm.
