Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is 16, point, 7, in16.7 in and the height of the pyramid is 18, point, 5, in18.5 in. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch..
The formula to calculate the volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.
First, we need to calculate the area of the base, which is a square.
The side length of the square base is given as 16, so the area of the base is 16 * 16 = 256 square inches.
Next, we can substitute this value into the formula: V = (1/3) * 256 * 18.5.
Calculating this expression, we get V = 1482.67 cubic inches.
Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 1482.7 cubic inches.
