Question

find the volume of the square pyramid. volume formula: v = bh ÷ 3 b = area of the square base v = ? ft³

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate the area of the square base

The formula for the area of a square is \( B = s^2 \), where \( s = 3\) ft. So, \( B=3\times3 = 9\) \(ft^{2}\).

Step2: Substitute into the volume formula

The volume formula for a pyramid is \( V=\frac{Bh}{3}\). Here, \( B = 9\) \(ft^{2}\) and \( h = 12\) ft. Then \( V=\frac{9\times12}{3}\).
First, calculate \(9\times12 = 108\). Then, \(V=\frac{108}{3}=36\) \(ft^{3}\).

Answer:

\(36\)
