SOLUTION: The volume of a pyramid is , where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. The apothem is . ANSWER: 482.1 m3 ANSWER: 233.8 cm3 13. 14. a pentagonal pyramid with a base area of 590 square SOLUTION: feet and an altitude of 7 feet The volume of a pyramid is , where B is the SOLUTION: area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. The volume of a pyramid is , where B is the The base is a hexagon, so we need to make a right area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. triangle to determine the apothem. The interior angles of the hexagon are 120°. The radius bisects the angle, so the right triangle is a 30°-60°-90° triangle. ANSWER: 1376.7 ft3 eSolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 5 11-3 Volumes of Pyramids and Cones 15. a triangular pyramid with a height of 4.8 centimeters Use the Pythagorean Theorem to find the other leg a and a right triangle base with a leg 5 centimeters and of the right triangle and then find the area of the hypotenuse 10.2 centimeters triangle. SOLUTION: Find the height of the right triangle. The length of the other leg of the right triangle is 6 cm. So, the area of the base B is 24 cm2. The volume of a pyramid is , where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. Replace V with 144 and B with 24 in the formula for the volume of a pyramid and solve for the height h. ANSWER: 3 35.6 cm 16. A triangular pyramid with a right triangle base with a Therefore, the height of the triangular pyramid is 18 leg 8 centimeters and hypotenuse 10 centimeters has cm. a volume of 144 cubic centimeters. Find the height. ANSWER: SOLUTION: 18 cm The base of the pyramid is a right triangle with a leg of 8 centimeters and a hypotenuse of 10 centimeters. eSolutions Manual - Powered by Cognero Page 6 11-3 Volumes of Pyramids and Cones Find the volume of each cone. Round to the nearest tenth. 18. SOLUTION: 17. SOLUTION: The volume of a circular cone is , where r is the radius of the base and h is the height of the The volume of a circular cone is , cone. The radius of this cone is 4.2 centimeters and where r is the radius of the base and h is the height the height is 7.3 centimeters. of the cone. Since the diameter of this cone is 10 inches, the radius is or 5 inches. The height of the cone is 9 inches. Therefore, the volume of the cone is about 134.8 cm3.
