Volume of Pyramids

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 square pyramid with a side length of 3 cm?

Back

Base Area = side × side = 3 cm × 3 cm = 9 cm²

Front

If the height of a pyramid is 6 cm and the base area is 12 cm², what is the volume?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 12 cm² × 6 cm = 24 cm³

Front

What is the volume of a pyramid with a base area of 20 m² and a height of 5 m?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 20 m² × 5 m = 33.33 m³

Front

Which measurement is NOT needed to calculate the volume of a pyramid?

Back

The slant height is not needed; only the base area and height are required.

Front

True or False: The volume of a pyramid is always less than the volume of a prism with the same base area and height.

Back

True

Front

What is the volume of a triangular pyramid with a base area of 10 cm² and a height of 4 cm?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 10 cm² × 4 cm = 13.33 cm³

Front

How do you find the area of a triangular base?

Back

Area = (1/2) × base × height of the triangle.

Front

If a square pyramid has a base area of 16 cm² and a height of 3 cm, what is its volume?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 16 cm² × 3 cm = 16 cm³

Front

What is the volume of a pyramid with a base area of 25 ft² and a height of 10 ft?

Back

Volume = (1/3) × 25 ft² × 10 ft = 83.33 ft³
