Algebra.Com's Answer #215652 by dabanfield(803) ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! One of the stone pyramids in Eygpt has a square base that measure 147 meters on each side. The height is 90 m. What is the volume of the pyramid. \n" ); document.write( "Now I know that V=1/3B. \n" ); document.write( "I have gotten V=one third 21609*90. What is confuseing me, is how to work the problem from there. \r \n" ); document.write( " \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The formula for the volume of a pyramid is (1/3)*height*base area\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The base has area of 147*147 = 21,609 so the volume is:\r \n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "(1/3)*90*21609 = 30*21690 = 650,700 \n" ); document.write( " |
