Question

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 12 inches and a height of 8 inches. Pyramid B has a volume of 20,736 in3. How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A? (5 points)

Answer 1

Solution

Given ,

Pyramid A

height =8 inch

base edge= 12 inch

The volume of pyramid B is 20736 inch³.

So we know that the volume of square pyramid is

$V=a^2 \frac {h} {3}$

Put the values in formula and we get

Volume of pyramid A= 384 inch³.

After computations

V_B = 54 V_A
