To find what formula can be usedto find the volume of a pyramid.
Answer to Problem 1E
Explanation of Solution
To calculate the volume of a pyramid, use the formula
Where asB is the area of the base and H is the height.
The method varies slightly depending on whether the pyramid has a triangular or a rectangular base.
If base is right
If base is rectangular then base area will be,
wherelis length andw is width of rectangle
So, base area will be different for different bases.
Hence, volume of a pyramid is one third times the base area times the height.
