The volume of a square based pyramid is 24 cubic feet and the area of the base is 9 square feet. Find the height of the pyramid.
A) 8 feet
B) 6 feet
C) 4 feet
D) 3 feet
Volume = base area * height / 3...so we have.....
24 = 9 * height / 3
24 = 3 * height divide both sides by 3
8 = height [ in feet ]
