The image shows a reconstruction of a pyramid with a square base. What is the best estimate for the volume of the pyramidThe volume of a pyramid equals a third times its base times its height

Vpyramid=13bh The base of a square pyramid is a square.

The area of a square is the side length of the square, squared.

b=s2 a. 1,460,040 m3

B2,433,400 m3

c.4,380,120 m3

D7,300,200 m3

Verified Answer :

Area of a pyramid is 1/3 Area of base height.
From the given pyramid, Area of square base = s^2 = 230^2 = 52900 and the height is 138 meters.

Volume of pyramid = 1/3 52900 138 = 2,433,400 m^3

Answer: B. 2,433,400 m3

Step-by-step explanation:

This is the equation for pyramids V = (1/3) a^2 h

h = height

a = side length

plug in the numbers

(1/3) 230^2 138 = 2,433,400
