Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the area of the base is 6, point, 5, m, squared6.5 m
2
and the height of the pyramid is 8, point, 6, m8.6 m. Round your answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic meter.
To find the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
Given that the area of the base is 6.5 m^2 and the height is 8.6 m, we can substitute these values into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 6.5 m^2 * 8.6 m
= (1/3) * 55.9 m^3
≈ 18.6 m^3
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 18.6 cubic meters.
