If a particular right square based pyramid has a volume of 63690 cubic meters and a height of thirty meters What is the number of meters in the length of the lateral height segment AB of a pyramid?

The formula for the volume of a pyramid such as you described would be: V = 1/3Ah where A is the area of the base (a square in this case) and h is the height of the pyramid. You know the volume and the height, so you can plug them into that formula to solve for A, the area of the square base: 63690 = 1/3A(30). A = 6369 square meters. Knowing the area of the square, and the fact that the formula for the area of a square is A = s2 where s is the length of a side, you can find the length of s by taking the square root of 6369. s = about 79.8 meters. The next steps will require some thinking about what that pyramid looks like and what the length of a lateral height segment would represent. Drawing a diagram often helps. If I understand correctly what you mean by "lateral height segment" of the pyramid, meaning the length of the segment from the center of a side at the bottom to the vertex at the top, that length would represent the hypotenuse of a right triangle whose legs are 30 meters (the inside height of the pyramid) and about 39.9 meters (half the length of a side, in other words the distance from the point at the center of the base to the center of the side). You can use the Pythagorean theorem to find that length: c2 = a2 + b2 c2 = 302 + 39.92 c2 = 900 + 1592 c2 = 2492 c = 49.9 meters (approximately)

How do you use spelling words in a pyramid?

To use spelling words in a pyramid, start by writing the first letter of the word at the top, then write the next two letters below it, and continue until you have spelled out the entire word at the bottom of the pyramid. It's a visual way to break down the word and can help reinforce spelling and word structure.

What is the formula for finding the volume of a square pyramid?

This is too general. The following equation is for the volume of a square pyramid, where v= volume, l= length of the base, w= width of the base, and h= height of the pyramid: v=(1/3)*l*w*h In other words, volume=(one divided by three) times length times width times height Volume is measured in "cubic" units. The volume of a figure is the number of cubes required to fill it completely, like blocks in a box. Sorry, but this answer is incorrect. the formula given is that of which for a rectangular pyramid.
