A square pyramid has a height of 14 cm and a base side length of 7 cm. What is the volume of the pyramid. Show work
The formula of the volume. a square pyramid is \(V=a^2\frac{h}{3}\) when \(a\) is the base edge and \(h\) is the height. Putting the numbers into the formula gets us \(V=7^{2}\frac{14}{3}\). Computing this we get \(49 \cdot \frac{14}{3}\) \(\to \frac{686}{3}\). \(\frac{686}{3}\approx228. \overline{6}\).
