Question 787583: We are learning how to translate a sentence into an equation or vice versa and there is one problem I do not understand. It is: Translate each sentence into an equation-One third the product of the length of the side squared and the height is the volume of a pyramid with a square base. That is confusing me and I have no idea what it means of how to do it. I really need help. Thank you so much!

One third the product of the length of the side squared and the height is the volume of a pyramid with a square base.
let s = the side of the square base, let h = the height
Just write what it says
:
V = 1%2F3s^2*h
