Answer:
Thus, volume of pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x^2y[/tex] cm³
Step-by-step explanation:
Given: A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm.
We have to choose from the given options an expression for the volume of the pyramid.
Volume of pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times Area\ of\ base \times height[/tex]
Since base is a square with edge length x cm.
Area of square = (side)² = x²
Thus, volume of pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}x^2y[/tex] cm³
