A pyramid has a square base of length 4.8 m and a total surface area of 85 m². Find the volume of the pyramid.​

164.33 m^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Mathematically, we have the formula for the volume as;

V = A * h/3

V = 5.8 * 85/3

V = 164.33 m^3

we have three similar triangles, because each has a right angle and shares an angle.   let's write the angles in order: opposite to short leg, long leg, hypotenuse.

cab similar to bad similar to cbd

or as ratios,

ca: ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

we also know

ac = ad + cd

(ad+cd): ab: cb = ba: ad: bd = cb: bd: cd

(ad+cd)/cb=cb/cd

we have cb=6, ad=5 and seek x=cd.

we reject the negative root and conclude x=4

answer: 4
