What is the volume, in cubic units, of a pyramid of height 8 and a square base of length 15?

For this case we have by definition, that the area of a square base pyramid is given by:

Where:

L: It's the side of the square base

h: It's the height of the pyramid

We have that, then

Substituting:

Finally, the volume of the pyramid is

2 over 5

step-by-step explanation:

the 2: 3 ratio is the length of the ac segment to the cb segment total length. this implies that the ratio between segment ac length and segment ab length is 2: 5. point c is 2/5 from a to b, so the required fraction is 2/5.
