Find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, where the side length of the base is
12 ft and the height of the pyramid is 7.1 ft. Round your answer to the nearest tenth
of a cubic foot.
Answer:
The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.
Explanation:
The volume of an object is a consideration of the dimensions of the object with respect to 3 dimensions.
volume of a pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x base area x height
But,
base area = length x width
= 12 x 12
= 144 square feet
So that,
volume of the pyramid = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x 144 x 7.1
= [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] x 1022.4
= 340.8
The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.
Answer:
340.8
Explanation:
The volume of an object is a consideration of the dimensions of the object with respect to 3 dimensions.
volume of a pyramid = x base area x height
But,
base area = length x width
= 12 x 12
= 144 square feet
So that,
volume of the pyramid = x 144 x 7.1
= x 1022.4
= 340.8
The volume of the given pyramid is 340.8 cubic feet.

The relationship has been derived based on the similarities and differences derived in an individual's phenotype and genotype.
The study of the phylogenetic tree has been performed with the determination of the lines that links the different species. The branch point in the given phylogenetic tree has the presence of amphibians, primates, rodents, crocodiles, and birds as label A which differentiates into labels B, C, D, and others.
Thus, the fossil with the common ancestor of amphibians, primates, rodents, crocodiles, and birds should be labeled A.
