Find the volume of a square pyramid with a height of 9 m and base edges of 4 m.
To find the volume of a pyramid, you can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) x base area x height
First, we need to find the base area of the square pyramid. Since it has square base edges of 4 m, the base area can be found by squaring the length of one side:
Base area = 4m x 4m = 16 m^2
Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) x 16m^2 x 9m
Volume = (1/3) x 144m^3
Volume = 48m^3
Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid is 48 cubic meters.
