Question 1 Report

A pyramid has a rectangular base with dimensions 12m by 8m. If its height is 14m, calculate the volume
Answer Details
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is given by V = 1/3 * B * h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. In this case, the base of the pyramid is a rectangle with dimensions 12m by 8m, so its area is A = 12m * 8m = 96m2. The height of the pyramid is given as 14m. Substituting these values into the formula, we have V = 1/3 * 96m2 * 14m = 448m3. Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 448m3.
