Volume of Pyramids

Front

What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid?

Back

V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

Front

Calculate the volume of a pyramid with a base area of 36 yd² and a height of 6 yd.

Back

72 yd³

Front

What is the volume of a square pyramid with a base side length of 4 cm and a height of 3 cm?

Back

16 cm³

Front

If a pyramid has a base area of 50 m² and a height of 10 m, what is its volume?

Back

166.67 m³

Front

How do you find the area of the base of a pyramid?

Back

The area of the base depends on the shape: for a square base, A = side²; for a rectangular base, A = length × width.

Front

What is the height of a pyramid?

Back

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

Front

Calculate the volume of a pyramid with a base area of 24 cm² and a height of 5 cm.

Back

40 cm³

Front

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

Back

The volume increases linearly with height, assuming the base area remains constant.

Front

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

Back

The volume also doubles if the height remains the same.

Front

What is a triangular pyramid?

Back

A triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) has a triangular base and three triangular faces that meet at a point.
