What does the area of the base of the ice block need to be for the given volume and height? Enter your answer in the box. A pyramid with a rectangular base has a volume of 480 cubic inches and a height of 10 inches. The width of the rectangular base is 9 inches. Find the length of the rectangular base.

length = 26 inches

Base Area = 144 inches²

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Volume 'V' = 480 inches³

Height 'h' = 10 inches

Width 'w' = 9 inches

Required:

Base Area 'B'=?

Length 'L'=?

Volume can be determined by:

V = 1/3 x lwh

480 = 1/3 x l x 9 x 10

l = 16 inches.

Base area is given by:

B = l x w = > 16 x 9

B = 144 inches²
