The volume of a pyramid is one third of a rectangular prism with the same base and the same perpendicular height. Calculate the volume of the pyramid and express your answer in metres cubed. Also, how does one convert cubits to metres squared if one cubit equals 50 cm.
----------
(1/3)s^2*h = sh
(1/3)s = 1
s = 3
-----
Volume of pyramid = (1/3)(3^2)h = 3h metres^3
===================================================
convert cubits to metres squared if one cubit equals 50 cm.
---
1 cubit = 0.4572 metres
----
Comment:: Cubit and Metre are linear measures.
A cubit cannot be converted to metres squared because
metres squared is an area measure.
