Question

find the volume of the square pyramid. use the formula: v = \frac{bh}{3}, b = area of the square base. v = ? ft³

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 $B = 6\times6=36$ ft².

Step2: Calculate volume

We know the height $h = 10$ ft and the formula for the volume of a square - pyramid is $V=\frac{Bh}{3}$. Substitute $B = 36$ ft² and $h = 10$ ft into the formula: $V=\frac{36\times10}{3}$.
$V=\frac{360}{3}=120$ ft³.

Answer:

120
