A rectangular pyramid has an area 24cm2 and height 7.5cm. Find its volume?

  • A. 65.0cm3
  • B. 70.5cm3
  • C. 56.5cm3
  • D. 60.0cm3

Correct Answer: D. 60.0cm3

Explanation

Volume of a rectangular pyramid = \(\frac{length * width * height}{3}\) or \(\frac{area * height}{3}\)

= \(\frac{24 * 7.5}{3}\) → \(\frac{180}{3}\)

Volume of the rectangular pyramid = 60cm\(^3\)
