An artist wants to make alabaster pyramids using a block of alabaster with a volume of 576 cubic inches. She plans to make each pyramid with a square base area of 3 square inches and a height of 4 inches. At most, how many pyramids can the artist make from the block of alabaster?
Volume of pyramid:
\(V= \dfrac{1}{3} \cdot A \cdot H\)
A - base area
H - height
First count volume of one pyramid:
\(V=\dfrac{1}{3} \cdot 3 \cdot 4=4 [\hbox{inch}^3]\)
So by using 576 inch^3 you can make 576 : 4 = 144 pyramids
Answer:
144
