Pyramid Flashcardizz

Front

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a pyramid?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height

Front

What is the base area of a pyramid?

Back

The base area is the area of the shape that forms the base of the pyramid, which can be a triangle, square, or rectangle.

Front

How do you find the height of a pyramid?

Back

The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex (top point) of the pyramid.

Front

If a pyramid has a square base with a side length of 4 m and a height of 3 m, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × (4 m × 4 m) × 3 m = 16 m³.

Front

What is the volume of a pyramid with a triangular base that has a base area of 10 m² and a height of 5 m?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 10 m² × 5 m = 16.67 m³.

Front

What units are used to measure the volume of a pyramid?

Back

Common units include cubic meters (m³), cubic centimeters (cm³), cubic feet (ft³), and cubic yards (yd³).

Front

How do you round a volume to the nearest whole number?

Back

If the decimal is 0.5 or higher, round up; if it's less than 0.5, round down.

Front

What is the volume of a pyramid with a base area of 64 yd² and a height of 4 yd?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 64 yd² × 4 yd = 85.33 yd³.

Front

If a pyramid has a volume of 192 ft³ and a height of 8 ft, what is the base area?

Back

Base Area = (Volume × 3) / Height = (192 ft³ × 3) / 8 ft = 72 ft².

Front

What is the relationship between the base area and the volume of a pyramid?

Back

The volume of a pyramid is directly proportional to its base area; as the base area increases, the volume increases.
