Jude says that the volume of a square pyramid with base edges of 7 in and a height of 7 in is equal to the volume of a cylinder with a radius of 7 in and a height of 7 in. Jude rounded all answers to the nearest whole number. Examine Jude's calculations. Is he correct? Volume of Square Pyramid Volume of Cylinder
V = B(h) V = r2h
V = 49(7) V = (72)(7)
V = 343 in3 V = 343 in3
Yes, his calculations are correct and the volumes for figures are equal.
No, he made a mistake in solving for the volume of the square pyramid.
Yes, but he made a mistake in solving for the volume of the cylinder.
No, he made a mistake in solving for the volume of both figures.
