Question

the oblique pyramid has a square base. what is the volume of the pyramid? 2.5 cm³ 5 cm³ 6 cm³ 7.5 cm³ 3.75 cm 2 cm

Explanation:

Step1: Find base - area

The base is a square with side length $a = 2$ cm. The area of a square $A=a^{2}$, so $A = 2^{2}=4$ cm².

Step2: Use volume formula

The volume formula for a pyramid is $V=\frac{1}{3}Ah$, where $A$ is the base - area and $h$ is the height. Here, $A = 4$ cm² and $h = 3.75$ cm. Then $V=\frac{1}{3}\times4\times3.75$.
$V=\frac{4\times3.75}{3}=\frac{15}{3}=5$ cm³.

Answer:

$5$ cm³
