a pyramid is 32 m high, the base is square, and its volume is 9600.00m^3

 

How many steps would it take to walk around. How could I go about getting a general answer for this?

The volume of the pyramid is

9600 = (1/3)s^2 h     where h is the height and s is the length of the side of the square base...so we have

9600 = (1/3) s^2(32)    multiply by 3 and divide by 32

(3/32)9600 = s^2

900 = s^2      take the square root of both sides

30m = s

So...the perimeter of the base woulld be 4s  = 120m

As to how many steps it would take to wlk around the base.....that would depend upon the length of each step......!!!
