I NEED HELP ASAP!!!
The figure below is a square pyramid where the height of the pyramid is 2 centimeters and the volume is 24 cubic
centimeters. If the volume of a pyramid Bh, then what is the length of the base?
h = 2 cm
V = 24 cm
2 centimeters
4 centimeters
8 centimeters
6 centimeters

Respuesta :

We are Given:

Height of the Pyramid(h) = 2 cm

Volume of the Pyramid = 24 cm³

Base of the Pyramid:

We know that the Volume of a square-based Pyramid:

Volume = a²*(h/3)

24 = a² * (2/3)                 [Replacing the variables]

24 * 3/2 = a²                   [Multiplying both sides by 3/2]

a² = 36

a = 6                               [taking the square root of both sides]

Hence, the length of base of the Pyramid is 6 cm
