Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base where the side length of the base is 16.7 inches in the height of the pyramid is 18.5 inches round your answer to the nearest 10th of a cub
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is given by:
V = (1/3) * base area * height
First, calculate the area of the square base:
base area = side length^2
base area = 16.7^2
base area = 278.89 square inches
Now, plug in the values into the volume formula:
V = (1/3) * 278.89 * 18.5
V = (1/3) * 5165.65
V = 1721.88333333
Rounded to the nearest 10th of a cubic inch, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 1721.9 cubic inches.
