Answer :

Answer:

2327.88

Step-by-step explanation:

Base area =

[tex] \frac{1}{2} \times a \times p[/tex]

where a = apothem = 4√3 and p = perimeter = 6 × 8 = 48

Therefore,

Base area =

[tex] \frac{1}{2} \times 4 \sqrt{3} \times 48 = 2 \sqrt{3} \times 48 = 96 \sqrt{3} [/tex]

Base area = 96√3

Hence,

Volume of the pyramid = Base area × height

= 96√3 × 14 = 1344√3

= 2327.8762

= 2327.88 to nearest hundredth
