Question

Define a method calcPyramidVolume with double data type parameters baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight, that returns as a double the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base. calcPyramidVolume() calls the given calcBaseArea() method in the calculation.

Answer 1

Answer:

The method in C++ is as follows:

double calcPyramidVolume(double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight){

   double baseArea = calcBaseArea(baseLength, baseWidth);

   double volume = baseArea * pyramidHeight;

   return volume;    

}

Explanation:

This defines the calcPyramidVolume method

double calcPyramidVolume(double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight){

This calls the calcBaseArea method to calculate the base area of the pyramid

   double baseArea = calcBaseArea(baseLength, baseWidth);

This calculates the volume

   double volume = baseArea * pyramidHeight;

This returns the volume

   return volume;  

}
