To find the volume of an oblique pyramid with a square base, you can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:
[ V = frac{1}{3} times B times h ]
where:
– ( V ) is the volume,
– ( B ) is the area of the base,
– ( h ) is the height of the pyramid (the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex).
1. Calculate the area of the base: Since it’s a square base, the area ( B ) can be calculated as:
[ B = text{side}^2 ]
2. Determine the height (h): You need to have the height of the pyramid as well.
3. Plug the values into the formula: Once you have both ( B ) and ( h ), substitute these values into the volume formula.
If you provide the side length of the square base and the height of the pyramid, I’ll be able to calculate the volume for you!
