Question

A metallic pyramid whose square base is 2 cm long and height 6 cm is given. Find the volume of the pyramid.

• A. $21c{m}^3$
• B. $12c{m}^3$
• C. $9c{m}^3$
• D. $8c{m}^3$

Answer 1

The correct option is D $8c{m}^3$

We know that,

volume of pyramid
$=\frac{1}{3}\times Areaofbase\times height$

Given,
height = 6 cm and the base is a square with side length 2 cm.

Volume of pyramid
$=\frac{1}{3}\times Areaofbase\times height$

$=\frac{1}{3}\times 2^2\times 6$

$=8c{m}^3$
