Respuesta :
Paul's argument is correct, Manuel used the wrong formula to find the volume of square pyramid X.
What is the volume of a cone?
From the question, we are given two shapes: Cone W and Square Pyramid,
Cone W: Radius = 8cm, Height = 5cm
The Volume of a Cone = 1/3 πr²h
Where π = 3.14
The Volume of Cone X = 1/3 × 3.14 × 8² × 5
= 334.93cm³
For Square pyramid X
The Volume = 1/3 × Base Area × Height
The Base Area of Cone W = The Base Area of square pyramid X = πr²
Where π = 3.14
The Base area = 3.14 × 8² = 200.96cm²
The Height of Square pyramid X = Height of Cone W = 5cm
The Volume of Square pyramid = 1/3 ×200.96cm² × 5cm
= 334.93cm³
Option a) "Paul's argument is correct, Manuel used the wrong formula to find the volume of square pyramid X" is the correct option.
The reason why is because the correct formula for volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 × Base area × Height
This was the formula Paul used.
So, Option a, is the correct answer.
