Q:
Find the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 48 cm and a slant height of 26 cm. A. 11,520 cm3 B. 23,040 cm3 C. 7,680 cm3 D. 768 cm3
Accepted Solution
A:
Firstly, write the stuffs you already know.
Length = Width = 48, Slant Height = 26.
You need to find Height of the pyramid.
Using Pythagoras Theory:
h = ✓26^2 - (48/2)^2
h = 10
Now apply the pyramid volume formula;
Volume = (Length×Width×Height)/3
Thus, v = (48^2 × 10)/3
v = 7680 cm^3
