Answer explanation

$\frac{length\ \times\ width\ \times\ height}{3}$

Find the volume of the square based pyramid that has a length of 5mm, a width of 5mm, and a height of 13mm.

• $23\ mm^3$

• $162.5\ mm^3$

• $325\ mm^3$

• $108.3\ mm^3$

Answer explanation

$\frac{length\ \times\ width\ \times\ height}{3}$

the volume formula for triangular prisms is

• $length\ \times\ width$

• $\frac{length\ \times\ width\times height}{2}$

• $\frac{length\ \times\ width}{3}$

• $length\ \times\ width\ \times\ height$

the volume formula for pyramids is

• $length\ \times\ width$

• $\frac{length\ \times\ width}{2}$

•  $\frac{length\ \times\ width\times height}{3}$ 

• $length\ \times\ width\ \times\ height$

the volume formula for rectangular prisms is

• $length\ \times\ width$

• $\frac{length\ \times\ width}{2}$

• $\frac{length\ \times\ width}{3}$

• $length\ \times\ width\ \times\ height$
