The height of a pyramid on square base is 15cm. if the volume is 80cm^3, find the area of the square base.

  • A 8cm2
  • B 9.6cm2
  • C 16cm2
  • D 25cm2

The correct answer is C. 16cm2

Volume of pyramid with square base = \(\frac{\text{base area} \times height}{3}\)

\(80 = \frac{\text{base area} \times 15}{3}\)

\(80 = 5 \times \text{base area}\)

\(\text{Base area} = 16 cm^2\)
