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

Back

Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height

Front

Calculate the volume of a triangular pyramid with a base area of 225 and a height of 9.5.

Back

712.5 cubic units

Front

What does the term 'base area' refer to in geometry?

Back

Base area is the surface area of the base of a three-dimensional shape.

Front

What is the height of a pyramid?

Back

The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex.

Front

How do you find the area of a triangle?

Back

Area = (1/2) * base * height

Front

What is a triangular pyramid?

Back

A triangular pyramid is a three-dimensional shape with a triangular base and three triangular faces that meet at a point.

Front

What is the difference between volume and surface area?

Back

Volume measures the space inside a three-dimensional object, while surface area measures the total area of its outer surfaces.

Front

If the base area of a pyramid is doubled, how does that affect the volume?

Back

The volume will also double if the height remains the same.

Front

What is the significance of the height in calculating the volume of a pyramid?

Back

The height determines how tall the pyramid is, affecting the overall volume.

Front

What units are used to measure volume?

Back

Cubic units (e.g., cubic centimeters, cubic meters).
