Find the volume $V$ of a pyramid if height $h = 12 cm$ and base area $B = 50 cm$ .

Answer

$200 cm$

Explanation

STEP 1: find side $a$

To find side $a$ use formula:

After substituting $B = 50 cm$ we have:

B = a^{2}

a^{2} = 50 cm

a = 50 cm

a = 52

STEP 2: find volume $V$

To find volume $V$ use formula:

V = \frac{a ^{2} \cdot h}{3}

After substituting $a = 52 cm^{0}$ and $h = 12 cm$ we have:

V = \frac{50 \cdot 12 cm}{3}

V = \frac{600 cm}{3}

V = 200 cm
