Question 1107846: A cone with a radius of 3 meters has a volume of 72 cubic meters. A pyramid with a square base has the same height and the same volume as the cone. What is the length of one side of the pyramid's base? Round your answer to the nearest tenth.

V of a cone=(1/3)pi*r^2*h
216=pi*9*h, for radius of 3 m
h=216/9pi=7.64 m
Volume of a square pyramid is a^2*h/3
72=a^2*(7.64)/3
216=7.64 a^2
a^2=28.27
a=5.3 m
