Pyramid Volume Practice

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

• V = $\frac{1}{2}bh$

• V = $Bh$

• V= $\frac{1}{3}Bh$

The "B" in the volume formula refers to...

What is the base shape of the pyramid?

• rectangle

• square

• triangle

What is the area of the base?

•  $4\ \times9\ =\ 36$  

•  $4\ \times6\ =\ 24$  

•  $6\ \times9\ =\ 54$  

What is the height of the pyramid?

• 4

• 6

• 9

What is the volume of the pyramid in the picture. 
Use the equation:
 $Volume\ =\ \frac{1}{3\ }Bh$  

•  $24\times9\ =\ 216\ yd^{3\ }$ 

•  $\frac{1}{3\ }\times24\times9\ =\ 72\ yd^{3\ }$  

Find the volume of this rectangular pyramid.
Use V =  $\frac{1}{3\ }Bh$  
Where B = area of the base
Where h = height of the pyramid

•  $364\ cm^{3\ }$  

•  $1092\ cm^3$  

•  $3276\ cm^3$  

Find the volume of this rectangular pyramid.
Use 
 $Volume\ =\ \frac{1}{3\ }Bh$  
Where B = area of the base
Where h = height of the pyramid

• 408 $ft^3$  

• 4352 $ft^3$  

• 2176  $ft^3$  

• 544  $ft^3$  

What is the area of the base of the prism?

• $\frac{1}{2\ }\times10\times6\ =\ 30\ ft^2$

• $\frac{1}{2\ }\times10\times8\ =\ 40\ ft^2$

• $\frac{1}{2\ }\times6\times8\ =\ 24\ ft^2$

• $\frac{1}{2\ }\times12\times8\ =\ 48\ ft^2$
