Find the height of a pyramid with the volume of 340 cubic inches and a base of 42.5 squared inches.

24 in

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a pyramid of base area A and height h is V = (1/3)(A)(h).

It's easiest to solve this for h before plugging in numerical values.  Solving for h, we get:  3V = A·h, or

           3V

h =

            A

With A = 42.5 in² and V = 340 in³, we have

      3(340 in³)

h = = 24 in

         42.5 in²

V =
