Question

follow the steps to find the volume of the square pyramid. use the formula: v = bh/3. b=area of the square base. begin by finding the area of the square base. b = ? ft² h = ft v = ft³ 3 ft 3 ft 5 ft

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base - area

The base is a square with side length $s = 3$ ft. The area of a square is $B=s^{2}$. So, $B = 3\times3=9$ ft².

Step2: Identify height

The height of the pyramid $h = 5$ ft.

Step3: Calculate volume

Use the volume formula $V=\frac{Bh}{3}$. Substitute $B = 9$ ft² and $h = 5$ ft into the formula. $V=\frac{9\times5}{3}=\frac{45}{3}=15$ ft³.

Answer:

$B = 9$ ft², $h = 5$ ft, $V = 15$ ft³
