A pyramid has a square base and a height of 6 ft. The volume of the pyramid is 162 ft^3. Let s be the length of a side of the pyramid's base.
A) In terms of s, the area of the base is .
B) The formula for the volume of a pyramid gives the equation .
C) Solving this equation shows that s =

Step-by-step explanation:

(a)Base Area

Side length of square base=s

Area of a Square of side length s=

(b)

Volume of a Pyramid

Substituting the given values, we have:

(c)Solving the equation derived from (b)

Solving this equation shows that s =9 ft.

none of the above.

for one of the equations to be used in the process, there has to be a term in the equation since squared is .

since there is only a term in the first equation, we cannot derive a from completing the square.

solving with completing the square
