A hexagonal pyramid has a volume of 144 cubic millimeters and a height of 4 millimeters. What is the area of the base of pyramid

Respuesta :

Hello!

The answer is:

The area of the base of the pyramid is:

[tex]BaseArea=108mm^{2}[/tex]

Why?

We are given the volume and the height of the hexagonal pyramid, so, to calculate the base of the area, we need to use the following formula:

[tex]Volume=\frac{1}{3}*BaseArea*Height[/tex]

So, we are given the following information:

[tex]Volume=144mm^{3}\\\\Height=4mm[/tex]

Then, substituting the given information and isolating the base area, we have:

[tex]Volume=\frac{1}{3}*BaseArea*Height[/tex]

[tex]144mm^{3} =\frac{1}{3}*BaseArea*4mm\\\\144mm^{3}*\frac{3}{4mm}=BaseArea\\\\BaseArea=108mm^{2}[/tex]

Hence, the area of the base of the hexagonal pyramid is equal to:

[tex]BaseArea=108mm^{2}[/tex]

Have a nice day!
