Find the volume in cubic meters of a right pyramid whose square base has sides 6 meters long and whose height is 4 meters.

Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid is given by the equation V = 1/3*B*h where B is the area of the base. A right pyramid looks like this:

The base is a square so the area of the base is 6*6 = 36. The volume then is 1/3*(36)*(4) = 48 cubic meters.
