The formula for the volume of a square pyramidis
v=6h) - 3, where b is the length of one side of the
square base and h is the height of the pyramid. find the
length of a side of the base of a square pyramid that has
a height of 3 inches and a volume of 25 cubic inches.
show your work.

5 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume is basically

Volume = area of base * height

For pyramid, that area would be  

Since, this is square pyramid, the base is a square with side length b, so the area would be  

Let height be h

Thus, we can write the formula for volume of square pyramid as:

Volume =

Where

b is side length of base square

h is height of pyramid

Now, given h = 3 and v = 25, we need to find b. let's substitute and figure it out using the formula:

Hence

the side length of the base of the square pyramid is 5 inches

your answer is b.

x = 33.9

y = 65.6
