Find the volume of the triangular pyramid to the nearest whole number A 340 in3 B 567 in3 C 850 in3 D 1133 in3 class=

Respuesta :

V = 1/3AH...where A is the the area of triangle base and H is height

lets do area of base....area of triangle is (HB)/2...so the area of the base is
(10* 17) / 2 = 170/2 = 85....so in the main formula, A = 85

V = 1/3AH......A = 85 and H = 20
V = 1/3(85 * 20)
V = 1/3(1700)
V = 1700/3
V = 566.6 rounds to 567 in^3 <==
The area of a triangular pyramid is given by [tex] V =\frac{1}{3} Ah[/tex]

Where A = area of the base, and h = height.


Knowing this, the area of your figure can be calculated by:

[tex] \frac{1}{3} * ( \frac{17*10}{2} ) *20[/tex]
=
[tex] \frac{1}{3} * 85 *20[/tex]
=
[tex] \frac{1}{3} * 1700[/tex]
=
[tex]566.(6)[/tex] reoccuring.

Or 567in^3
