1. the dimensions of the rectangular

pyramid are shown in the
diagram. what is the volume of
the pyramid in cubic centimeters?

Explanation:

Step1: Recall pyramid volume formula

The volume $V$ of a rectangular pyramid is $V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}$

Step2: Calculate base area

The base is a rectangle with length $3.8\ \text{cm}$ and width $3\ \text{cm}$.
$\text{Base Area} = 3.8 \times 3 = 11.4\ \text{cm}^2$

Step3: Substitute values into formula

Height of the pyramid is $6\ \text{cm}$.
$V = \frac{1}{3} \times 11.4 \times 6$

Step4: Compute the volume

First calculate $\frac{1}{3} \times 6 = 2$, then $11.4 \times 2 = 22.8$

Answer:

$22.8$ cubic centimeters
