Question

Meera constructed a square pyramid of base edge 10cm and height 6cm Manu made a square pyramid having base edge 5cm and height 4cm. Find the volume of the pyramids and compare the measurements.

Answer 1

Volume of Meera’s pyramid = \(\frac{1}{3}\) x Baste edge x height 3

= \(\frac{1}{3}\) x 10² x 6 = 200 cm³

Volume of Manu’s pyramid = \(\frac{1}{3}\) x 52 x 24 = 200 cm³

Volumes are equal
