The volume of a pyramid with height 15cm is 90cm3. If its base is a rectangle with dimension xcm by 6cm, find the value of x
3
5
6
8
Explanation
Volume of pyramid = \(\frac{1}{3}\)lbh
90 = \(\frac{1}{3} \times x \times 6 \times 15\)
x = \(\frac{90 \times 33}{6 \times 15}\)
= 3
90 = \(\frac{1}{3} \times x \times 6 \times 15\)
x = \(\frac{90 \times 33}{6 \times 15}\)
= 3
