Find the volume of the solid brow, composed of two pyramids connected by the same vertical square base

Find The Volume Of The Solid Brow Composed Of Two Pyramids Connected By The Same Vertical Square Base class=

Answer :

Check the picture below.

so we can simply get the volume of each and sum them up.

[tex]\textit{volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{Bh}{3}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ B=base's~area\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=6\\ B=\stackrel{8\times 8}{64} \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{(64)(6)}{3}\implies V=128[/tex]

[tex]\textit{volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{Bh}{3}~~ \begin{cases} h=height\\ B=base's~area\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ h=12\\ B=\stackrel{8\times 8}{64} \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{(64)(12)}{3}\implies V=256 \\\\[-0.35em] ~\dotfill\\\\ ~\hfill 128~~ + ~~256~~ = ~~384~\hfill[/tex]
