If the volume of the square pyramid is 40 cubic millimeters, and the length of s is 2 millimeters, what is the length of the altitude, h?

Answer: the length of the altitude is 10 mm

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for determining the volume of a square base pyramid is expressed as

Volume = Ah

Where

A represents the area of the square base.

h represents the height or altitude of the pyramid.

From the information given,

Length of each side of the square base = 2 millimeters

Volume of the square pyramid is 40 cubic.

Area of square base = 2² = 4 mm²

Therefore,

40 = 4h

h = 40/4

h = 10 mm
