A pyramid with volume 1000 ft^3 and a height of 5 ft.
What is the base area of the pyramid?

base area = 600 ft²
The volume ( V) of a pyramid is calculated using the formula
V = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] Ah ( A is the area of base and h the height )
1000 = [tex]\frac{5}{3}[/tex]A ( substituting given values )
multiply both sides by 3 and divide by 5
A = [tex]\frac{3000}{5}[/tex] = 600 ft²
