 $\begin{array}{r} h = & 1 \\ l = & 6 \\ w = & 8 \end{array}$

Step 1

The volume of a pyramid is equal to $\frac{1}{3} \cdot (l e n g t h) \cdot (w i d t h) \cdot (h e i g h t)$ .

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot (l e n g t h) \cdot (w i d t h) \cdot (h e i g h t)$

Step 2

Substitute the values of the length $l = 6$ , the width $w = 8$ , and the height $h = 1$ into the formula to find the volume of the pyramid.

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot 6 \cdot 8 \cdot 1$

Step 3.1

Factor $3$ out of $6$ .

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot (3 (2)) \cdot 8 \cdot 1$

Step 3.2

Cancel the common factor.

$\frac{1}{3} \cdot (3 \cdot 2) \cdot 8 \cdot 1$

Step 3.3

Rewrite the expression.

$2 \cdot 8 \cdot 1$

Step 4
