Question

The base of a pyramidal tent is a square. If the tent is 2 meters long and 1 ½ meters high. How many cubic meters of space can it hold inside?

Answer 1

Step-by-step explanation:

Area of tent = s²+2×s×h=2²+2×2×1.5 = 4+6 = 10m³

tent can hold space inside is 10m³

Answer 2

Given,

The length of the base of pyramid = 2m

Height of the pyramid = 1½ m = 3/2m = 1.5m

To find,

The volume of the square pyramid.

Solution,

We can simply solve this mathematical problem by using the following mathematical process.

The volume of the square pyramid :

= ⅓ × (side)² × height.

= ⅓ × (2)² × 1.5

= ⅓ × 4 × 1.5

= ½ × 4

= 2 m³

(The final value is in the cubic metre unit as mentioned in the given question.)

Hence, the volume of the pyramid is 2m³.
