How do find the volume a square pyramid with its base edges of 4 ft and a height of 15ft?

Answer 1

To find the volume of a square pyramid, you can use the formula ( V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} ). The base area of a square pyramid is calculated by squaring the length of one side of the base, so here it is ( 4 , \text{ft} \times 4 , \text{ft} = 16 , \text{ft}^2 ). Then, substituting the base area and height into the formula gives ( V = \frac{1}{3} \times 16 , \text{ft}^2 \times 15 , \text{ft} = 80 , \text{ft}^3 ). Thus, the volume of the pyramid is 80 cubic feet.
