Use the formula for the volume of a pyramid.
4.8 meters
We are given a square pyramid with a volume of 25 35 cubic meters and we know that the base edge is 4 meters. We want to find the height of this pyramid. Let's first recall the formula for the volume of a pyramid.
V=1/3Bh
V= 25 35, B= 16
Write as a decimal
LHS * 3=RHS* 3
Multiply
3 * a/3= a
Identity Property of Multiplication
.LHS /16.=.RHS /16.
Rearrange equation
a* b/c=a/c* b
a/a=1
Identity Property of Multiplication
Calculate quotient
The height is 4.8 meters.
