The height and base dimensions of a pyramid are shown in the diagram.
What is the volume of the pyramid?

Volume of the pyramid = 40 cubic units
Solution:
Let us find the volume of the pyramid.
Area of the base = [tex]\frac{1}{2}\ bh[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{2}\times4\times5[/tex]
= 10 square units
Area of the base (B) = 20 square units
Height of the pyramid = 12
Volume of the pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}\times \text{Base}\times \text{Height}[/tex]
[tex]$=\frac{1}{3}\times 10\times12[/tex]
[tex]= 40[/tex] cubic units
Volume of the pyramid = 40 cubic units
