Alexandra needs to cut the square pyramid out of cardboard. How much cubic space does she have?
To find the cubic space of a square pyramid, we can use the formula: (1/3) * base area * height.
Before we can calculate the cubic space, we need to know the measurements of the base area (the square) and the height of the pyramid.
Let's assume the base of the square pyramid has a side length of "s" units.
To find the base area, we need to square the side length of the square.
Base area = s^2
Next, we need to know the height of the pyramid. The height is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex (top) of the pyramid.
Assuming the height of the square pyramid is "h" units, we can calculate the cubic space as follows:
Cubic space = (1/3) * base area * height
= (1/3) * s^2 * h
Now, we need to know the values of "s" and "h" to calculate the cubic space of the pyramid.
