An inverted pyramid is being filled with water at a constant rate of 45 cubic centimeters per second. The pyramid, at the top, has the shape of a square with sides of length 6 cm, and the height is 12 cm. Find the rate at which the water level is rising when the water level is 5 cm.

Respuesta :

Answer:

The volume of a pyramid is 1/3 Sh, where S is the area of the base and h is the height.  Since the area of base (Square) is , S = [tex]s^{2}[/tex], where s is the side of the base.  So the volume is

V = 1/3 [tex]s^{2}[/tex]h.
