A pyramid of volume 120cm3 has a rectangular base which measure 5cm by 6cm. Calculate the height of the pyramid
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.
Given that the volume of the pyramid is 120 cm^3 and the base area is 5 cm * 6 cm = 30 cm^2, the formula can be written as:
120 = (1/3) * 30 * h
120 = 10h
h = 12
Therefore, the height of the pyramid is 12 cm.
