Lesson 17 Review: Find the volume of each pyramid with the given values. 1. A four- sided pyramid with base edge of 5 ft and h = 4 ft. 2. A four-sided pyramid with base edge of 10 ft and h = 7 ft. 3. A four-sided pyramid with base edge of 8 yds and h = 9 yds. 4. A four-sided pyramid with base edge of 20 ft and h = 15 ft. 5. A four-sided pyramid with base edge of 11 in and h = 20 in.

Step 1
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height. For a four-sided pyramid with a square base, the area of the base is simply the length of one side squared. So, for the first pyramid, we have: V = Show more…

Find the volume of a pyramid whose base is a square with side L and whose height is h.
Joseph D.
The volume of a triangular pyramid is given by the formula $V=\frac{1}{3} B h,$ where $B$ represents the area of the triangular base and $h$ is the height of the pyramid. Find the volume of a triangular pyramid whose height is given and whose base has the coordinates shown. Assume units are in m. $$h=7.5 \mathrm{m} ; \text { vertices }(-2,3),(-3,-4), \text { and }(-6,1)$$
