Calculating Areas and Volumes of Pyramids

The video tutorial explains how to calculate the volume of a pyramid. It begins with an introduction to the formula for volume and then details the steps to calculate the areas of different sections of the pyramid. The tutorial covers both square and rectangular bases, using examples to demonstrate the calculations. The final volume is obtained by combining the calculated areas and applying the formula. The tutorial emphasizes the importance of accuracy in each step to ensure the correct volume is determined.

What was the previous topic discussed before moving on to pyramids?

• Area of a triangle

• Volume of a cylinder

• Frustum of a cone

• Surface area of a sphere

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

• V = h/3 * (Area1 + Area2 + Area3)

• V = h/6 * (Area1 + 4*Area2 + Area3)

• V = h * (Area1 + Area2 + Area3)

• V = h/2 * (Area1 + Area2)

How is the area of a square calculated?

• 2 * (Length + Width)

• Side^2

• Length * Width

• Base * Height

What is the length of the side of the top square in the pyramid example?

• 4 cm

• 10 cm

• 16 cm

• 7 cm

How do you calculate Area 2 for the pyramid with a square base?

• Using the height

• Using the average of two lengths

• Using the perimeter

• Using the diagonal

• 16

• 196

What is the final volume of the pyramid with a square base?

• 100 cm³

• 196 cm³

• 312 cm³
