Question

the volume of a pyramid can be found using the formula v = \frac{1}{3}bh where b is the area of the base, and h is the height of the pyramid. what is the volume of the pyramid? a. 16 m³ b. 20 m³ c. 32 m³ d. 40 m³

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base area

The base is a rectangle with length $8$ m and width $2$ m. So, $B = 8\times2=16$ m².

Step2: Calculate volume

We know $h = 6$ m and the volume formula $V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$. Substitute $B = 16$ m² and $h = 6$ m into the formula: $V=\frac{1}{3}\times16\times6 = 32$ m³.

Answer:

C. $32$ m³
