Q:

HELP ASAP PLEASE :)A solid right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm. Which expression represents the volume of the pyramid?One-thirdxy cm3One-thirdx2y cm3One-halfxy2 cm3One-halfx2y cm3

Accepted Solution

A:
Answer:One-thirdx2y cm3Step-by-step explanation:Given the base is square.The base length is [tex]x\ cm[/tex] and height is [tex]h\ cm[/tex].The general formula of volume of a right pyramid having a square base is,[tex]V=\frac{lwh}{3}[/tex] cube unit.Here, [tex]l=w=x[/tex] and [tex]h=y[/tex] [tex]cm[/tex]substituting these into the formula, we get:[tex]V=\frac{xxy}{3}\\ V=\frac{x^2y}{3}[/tex] [tex]cm^3[/tex]Thus the volume of right pyramid has a square base with an edge length of x cm and a height of y cm is One-thirdx2y cm3.
