Question

find the volume of this square pyramid.
(there is a diagram of a square pyramid with the height labeled 3 m and the side length of the square base labeled 10 m. there is also a yellow box with the formula: volume of a pyramid v = (1/3)bh)
v = ? m³

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base area

The base is a square with side length 10 m. The area of a square is side length squared.
$B = 10^2 = 100 \, \text{m}^2$

Step2: Substitute into volume formula

Use the pyramid volume formula $V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$, where $h=3$ m.
$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 100 \times 3$

Step3: Simplify to find volume

Cancel the 3 in numerator and denominator.
$V = 100$

Answer:

$100$
