To find the missing dimension of the base of the rectangular pyramid, we can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:
Volume = (1/3) * b * h
Given:
Volume = 22,750 cm^3
Dimension of base = 30 cm
Altitude = 65 cm
Substitute the known values into the formula:
22,750 = (1/3) * 30 * 65
22,750 = 650 * 10
22,750 = 6,500
Now solve for the missing dimension of the base (b):
b = (22,750 * 3) / (30 * 65)
b = 67,500 / 1950
b = 35 cm
Therefore, the missing dimension of the base of the pyramid is 35 cm.
