Question:

If the base of a right pyramid is rectangle of dimensions 15 cm x 8 cm and its volume is 720 cm², then its height will be?

Options:

15 cm

25 cm

22 cm

18 cm

Correct Answer:

18 cm

Explanation:

volume = \(\frac{1}{3}\) Area of base × height

⇒ 720 = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × (lb) × height

⇒ 720 = \(\frac{1}{3}\) × 15 × 8 × height 

⇒ \(\frac{720}{5 × 8}\) = height 

height = 18 cm
