Understanding the Volume of a Pyramid

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a pyramid with a given height and rectangular base. It covers the formula for volume, labeling dimensions, calculating the base area, and converting the volume into different forms. The tutorial also provides an overview of pyramid properties and their classification as polyhedrons.

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

• Area of the base times height

• 1/2 times the area of the base times height

• 1/3 times the area of the base times height

• Area of the base divided by height

What are the given dimensions of the pyramid's base?

• 6 cm by 10 cm

• 6 cm by 11 cm

• 5 cm by 11 cm

• 5 cm by 10 cm

How do you calculate the area of the base of the pyramid?

• Length plus width

• Length times width

• Length divided by width

• Length minus width

What is the volume of the pyramid in cubic centimeters?

• 1,375 divided by 3 cubic cm

• 1,375 cubic cm

• 1,375 times 3 cubic cm

• 1,375 plus 3 cubic cm

How is the improper fraction of the volume converted to a mixed number?

• By performing long division
