The height of a pyramid-shaped sculpture with a square base is one half the length of each side. The volume of the sculpture is 972 in^3. What is the height of the sculpture?

I need the answer asap!!

The volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 x base length^2 x height

Let X = base length.

We are told the height is 1/2 the length, so height would be 1/2x

Now we have:

972 = 1/3 * x^2 * 1/2x

Simplifying we get:

972 = 1/6x^3

Multiply both sides by 6:

5832 = x^3

Take the cube root of both sides:

x = 18

The length of the base is 18 inches.

The height is 1/2 that, so the height would be 18/2 = 9 inches.
