Question

A pyramid has a base area of 60 cm² and height 9 cm. What is its volume?

• A. 180 cm³
• B. 280 cm³
• C. 240 cm³
• D. 160 cm³

Answer 1

Answer:

A. 180 cm³

The volume of a pyramid is:

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times \text{Base Area}\times \text{Height}$

Base area = 60 cm²
Height = 9 cm

$V=\frac{1}{3}\times 60\times 9$
$V=20\times 9=180\text{ cm}^3$
