Given a square pyramid with a height of 27 ft and a volume of 5,040 cubic feet, find the length of one side of the square base. Round to the nearest tenth.

V=1/3 times height times base

height=27

base=?

v=5040

5040 = (1/3) 27 base area

5040=9 times base area

divide both sides by 9

560=base aera

square is side^2 so

560=side^2

sqrt both sides

23.6643=side

tenth

23.7 feet is one isde
