All edges of a square pyramid are 18 centimetres. What is its volume?

Answer»

 Length of base edge a = 18 cm

Volume = \(\frac{1}{3}a^2h\)

Slant height, \(l=\sqrt{18^2-9^2}\)

\(\sqrt{324-81}\)

\(\sqrt{243}\) = \(9\sqrt{3}\)

\(h=\sqrt{l^2-(a/2)^2}\)

\(\sqrt{243-81}\)

\(\sqrt{162}\) = \(9\sqrt{2}\) 

Volume = \(\frac{1}{3}a^2h\)

\(\frac{1}{3}\) x 182 \(9\sqrt{2}\)

= 1371.61 cm3
