Which equation should be used to find the volume of the figure? A rectangular pyramid with a base of 10 centimeters by 6 centimeters and a height of 12 centimeters.
V = one-third (10) (6) (12)
V = one-half (10) (6) (12)
V = one-third (10) (6) (13)
V = one-half (10) (6) (13)
Mark this and return

The answer is V= one third (10) (6) (12).

Explanation:

The volume of pyramid is space occupied by it (or) it is defined as the number of unit cubes that can be fit into it. A pyramid is a polyhedron as its faces are made up of polygons.

The volume of a pyramid refers to the space enclosed between its faces. The volume of any pyramid is always one-third of the volume of a prism where the bases of the prism and pyramid are congruent and the heights of the pyramid and prism are also the same. i.e., three identical pyramids of any type can be arranged to form a prism of the same type such that the heights of the pyramid and the prism are the same and their bases are congruent, i.e., three rectangular pyramids can be arranged to form a rectangular prism.

In general, the volume of a pyramid is one-third the volume of a corresponding prism (with a base congruent to that of the pyramid and a height equal in measure to that of the pyramid). As a result, the volume of a pyramid is one-third the area of the base times the height of the pyramid. The area of the rectangular base is given by the formula A = lw. Thus, causing the formula for a rectangular pyramid to be V= LWH.
