Volume of Pyramids

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

Back

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * B * h, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

What is the volume of a pyramid with a circular base of radius 3 units and height 4 units?

Back

The volume is V = (1/3) * π * r^2 * h = (1/3) * π * 3^2 * 4 = 12π cubic units.

What is the relationship between the height of a pyramid and its volume?

Back

The volume of a pyramid is directly proportional to its height; if the height increases, the volume increases.

If a pyramid has a volume of 60 cubic units and a base area of 15 square units, what is its height?

Back

Using V = (1/3) * B * h, we find h = (3 * V) / B = (3 * 60) / 15 = 12 units.
