A box of candy is shaped like a triangular pyramid. the volume of the candy box measures 85 in.³. The area of the base of the candy box is 25 in.². What is the height of the candy box.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The height is 10.2 inches

Step-by-step explanation:

we know that

The volume of the triangular pyramid is given by the formula

[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}Bh[/tex]

where

B is the area of the base

h is the height of the pyramid

we have

[tex]V=85\ in^3[/tex]

[tex]B=25\ in^2[/tex]

substitute

[tex]85=\frac{1}{3}(25)h[/tex]

solve for h

[tex]h=85(3)/25=10.2\ in[/tex]
