If the height, which is twice the length of the base edges, measures 6 meters, then each base edge must measure 3 meters.

Since the base is a square, the area of the base is 3 x 3 = 9.

Therefore the volume of the right pyramid is V = (1/3) x area of the base x height = 1/3(9)(6) = 18.

The volume of a 6-foot-tall square pyramid is 8 cubic feet. How long are the sides of the base?

Volume of a pyramid is

$$\frac{1}{3}$\cdot (Area\ of\ the\ base)\cdot (height)$

Thus:

$8=\frac{1}{3}$\cdot (Area\ of\ the\ base)\cdot (6)$

$8=2\cdot (Area\ of\ the\ base)$

Area of the base is $4\ $ft^{2}$$ .

Therefore, each side is $2\ ft$ .
