Answer
A
3 cap v over h units squared
B
open paren cap v minus 3 h close paren times units squared
C
cap v over 3 h units squared
D
open paren 3 cap v minus h close paren times units squared
Explanation
The volume of a pyramid is V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of its base and h is its height. Solving for B gives B = 3V/h, so the base area is 3V divided by h square units.
