Solution:
We know that a Pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. Each base edge and apex form a triangle, called a lateral face. A right pyramid has its apex directly above the centroid of its base. A pyramid that has a regular polygon base is called a regular pyramid.The volume of pyramid is given with b as the area of the base and h as the height of from the base to the apex also is given as
.
We are given the question that the base of a right pyramid is a regular hexagon whose area is 243 square cm which means b = 243 square cm. The area of a side face of the pyramid is 46 square cm. We draw the rough figure of it below with O as the apex and ABCDEF as the base of a regular hexagonal base.
We observe the triangle OEF which is a die face of the pyramid with slant height
and base . We are given its area as . So we have;
We can find the apothem as the height of equilateral triangle EGF as
We use Pythagoras theorem in right angled triangle OGH to have;
So the volume of pyramid cubic is
