Question

Brenda is buying a tent that is in the shape of a rectangular pyramid. The base is 6 feet by 8 feet. If the tent holds 88 cubic feet of air, how tall is the tent's center pole? Show your work.

Answer 1

Here volume of air is equal to the air filled in it
that is 88 = l×b×h
88 = 6×8×h
88=48×h
11 = 6×h
h=11÷6
h= 1.834 feet
Therefore the height of the pole is 1.834 feet
