(08.01 MC) The volume of a pyramid that fits exactly inside a cube is 9 cubic feet. What is the volume of the cube? (5 points)
Select one:
a. 3 cubic feet
b. 6 cubic feet
c. 18 cubic feet
d. 27 cubic feet

d. 27 cubic feet

Step-by-step explanation:

volume of cube = s^3 = B * s

volume of pyramid = (1/3) * B * h

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 of the area of the base multiplied by the height. The volume of a cube is the area of the base multiplied by the height. Since the volume of a pyramid has the fraction 1/3 and the volume of the cube does not, then the volume of a cube is 3 times greater than the volume of a pyramid that fits inside and has the same base area.

volume of pyramid = 9 cu ft

volume of cube = 3 * 9 cu ft = 27 cu ft

d. 27 cubic feet

27 ft^3 (Answer d)

Step-by-step explanation:

Here the volume of the pyramid is (1/3) the volume of the cube:

Letting s represent the length of one side of the base,

(1/3)(s)^2(s) = 9 ft^3, equivalent to  s^3 = 27.

Solving for s, we get s = 3 ft.

Thus, the volume of the cube is V = s^3 = (3 ft)^3 = 27 ft^3 (Answer d)

is should be y = 5x
