Lesson Steps

Step Type Explanation Answer

1

Problem

The volume of a square pyramid with a slant height of 18 inches is 576 cubic inches. and height is 12 inches, Find the length of its base.

2

Step

The given values of volume, height and slant height are

V = 576 cu.inches
h = 12 inches
l = 18 inches

3

Formula

The volume of the square pyramid is

V = \$1/3 times a times h\$

4

Formula

The base area of the pyramid is the product of sides

a = \$s times s\$

a = \$s^2\$

5

Step

Substitute the "a" value in the volume formula

V = \$1/3 times s^2 times h\$

6

Step

Substitute the given values in the above equation, we get

576 = \$1/3 times s^2 times 12\$

576 = \$4 times s^2\$

\$576/4\$ = \$s^2\$

7

Step

After simplification

144 = \$s^2\$

\$sqrt 144\$ = s

12 = s

8

Step

The base length of pyramid is 12 inches.
