Square Pyramid Height

Question

Find the height of each figure.  Square pyramid:  volume 873.18 m^3, length 12.6 m

Answer 1

To do this problem, you need to know the formula for the volume of a pyramid:

 

Volume = (1/3)(Area of the base)(height)

 

The volume is 873.18, the base is a square of length 12.6, so its area = (12.6)² 

 

873.18 = (1/3)(12.6²)(height)
