What is the volume of a square pyramid with a base length of 5 cm and a height of 6 cm?

Solution:

It is given that

The base length of the square pyramid a = 5 cm

Height of the square pyramid h = 6 cm

We know that a square pyramid has four triangular faces with a square-shaped base that meet each other at a vertex.

The volume can be determined by using the formula provided here.

The volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 a²h cubic units.

Substituting the values here

The volume of the square pyramid = 1/3 × 5² × 6

= 1/3 × 25 × 6

= 150/3

= 50 cm³

Therefore, the volume of a square pyramid with a base length of 5 cm and a height of 6 cm is 50 cm³

What is the volume of a square pyramid with a base length of 5 cm and a height of 6 cm?

Summary:

The volume of a square pyramid with a base length of 5 cm and a height of 6 cm is 50 cm³
