To calculate the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
First, we need to find the height of the pyramid. We can do this by using the Pythagorean theorem on the right triangle formed by the slant edge, height, and half of the base.
Let h be the height of the pyramid, then we have:
h^2 + (40)^2 = (130)^2 h^2 + 1600 = 16900 h^2 = 15300 h = √15300 h ≈ 123.69 cm
