Question

unit exam - 3d figures part 2
find the volume of the square pyramid.
use the formula: v = \frac{bh}{3}
b = area of the square base.
v = ? ft³
6 ft
6 ft
8 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base - area

The base is a square with side length $s = 6$ ft. The area of a square $B=s^2$. So, $B = 6\times6=36$ $ft^2$.

Step2: Calculate volume

We know the height $h = 8$ ft and the volume formula $V=\frac{Bh}{3}$. Substitute $B = 36$ $ft^2$ and $h = 8$ ft into the formula: $V=\frac{36\times8}{3}$. First, $36\times8 = 288$, then $\frac{288}{3}=96$ $ft^3$.

Answer:

$96$
