Chapter 12, Problem 1STP

To determine

To calculate : The volume of the pyramid.

Answer to Problem 1STP

(B) $26,09,733m^3$

Explanation of Solution

Given information : A square base has a height that is $148m$ . And side length of the square base is $230m$

Formula used : The volume of the pyramid having a square base can be calculated by $V=\frac{1}{3}{a}^{2}h$ . Where $a$ is the side length of the square base, $h$ is the height of the pyramid.

Calculation : Calculate the volume.

  $V=\frac{1}{3}{a}^{2}h$

  $\begin{array}{l}V=\frac{1}{3}({230}^2\times 148)\\ V=\frac{78,29,200}{3}\\ V=26,09,733m^3\end{array}$
