In a triangular pyramid, the triangular base is an isosceles triangle with side lengths of 5 cm and a base of 6 cm. The height of the pyramid itself is 2 cm. Find the volume of the pyramid.

Sagot :

Answer:

10 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

A triangular prism's volume is: base * height * 1/3

The base's area is: base (of the triangle) * height (of the triangle) * 0.5

Plugging the numbers we have into the problem:

Base of pyramid: 5 * 6 * 0.5 = 15

Volume of pyramid: 15 * 2 * 1/3 = 30 * 1/3 = 10

Thus, the volume is 10 cm³
