A right square pyramid with base edges of length $8\sqrt{2}$ units each and slant edges of length 10 units each is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base and 3 units above its base. What is the volume, in cubic units, of the new pyramid that is cut off by this plane?

32

Step-by-step explanation:

Given:

Now we use  Pythagoras to get the slant height in the middle of each triangle:

= =  units

One again, you can use Pythagoras again to get the perpendicular height of the entire pyramid.

= = 6 units.

Because slant edges of length 10 units each is cut by a plane that is parallel to its base and 3 units above its base. So we have the other dementions of the small right square pyramid:

So the volume of it is:

V  = 1/3 *3* 4

= 32

no this is a nonlinear negative

your answer is -9
