The volume of the pyramid that has a square base with side length x
and a height y is the option;
- [tex]\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x^2 \cdot y \ cm^3[/tex]
What is the formula for finding the volume of the pyramid?
The volume, V, of a right pyramid is given by the formula;
[tex]V = \mathbf{\dfrac{1}{3} \times Base \ area \times Height}[/tex]
Length of the side of the square base of the pyramid = x
Height of the pyramid = y
Therefore;
Base area of the pyramid = x × x = x²
[tex]Volume \ of \ the \ pyramid, \ V= \dfrac{1}{3} \times x^2 \, cm^2 \times y \, cm = \underline{\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot x^2 \cdot y \ cm^3}[/tex]
