Question

Transcribed Image Text:Define a function `calc_pyramid_volume()` with parameters `base_length`, `base_width`, and `pyramid_height`, that returns the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base. `calc_pyramid_volume()` calls the given `calc_base_area()` function in the calculation.
**Relevant Geometry Equations:**
Volume = base area × height × 1/3
(Watch out for integer division).
**Sample Output with Inputs: 4.5, 2.1, 3.0**
```
Volume for 4.5, 2.1, 3.0 is: 9.45
```
```python
def calc_base_area(base_length, base_width):
return base_length * base_width
''' Your solution goes here '''
length = float(input())
width = float(input())
height = float(input())
print("Volume for", length, width, height, "is:", calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height))
```
**Explanation:**
- The function `calc_base_area()` calculates the area of a rectangular base.
- Complete the `calc_pyramid_volume()` function by using the formula for the volume of a pyramid.
- The output section demonstrates how to input values and calculate the pyramid's volume using these functions.

- In matlabarrow_forwardWe can assign a value to each character in a word, based on their position in the alphabet (a = 1, b = 2, ..., z = 26). A balanced word is one where the sum of values on the left-hand side of the word equals the sum of values on the right-hand side. For odd length words, the middle character (balance point) is ignored. Write a function that returns true if the word is balanced, and false if it's not. Examples balanced ("zips") → true // "zips" = "zi|ps" = 26+9|16+19 = 35|35 = true balanced ("brake") // "brake" = "br|ke" false = 2+18 | 11+5 = 20 16 = falsearrow_forwardreate a function called echoeveryN( ) that takes a non-empty string and an integer, n, as input parameters. Return from the function every Nth character from the string. For example, echoeveryN("What am I going to say here?",3) would return: 'aaIyn'. An integer that is out of range (0, negative, or too large) would simply return an empty string ‘ ‘. Do not use any import libraries as part of the solution. It's OK to use IDLE/PyCharm to test your solution. Another example call : echoeveryN("hellotheremyfriend",2) would return 'elteeyred'arrow_forward
