Aim: How do we find the volume of pyramids and cones?
By using the appropriate formulas.
What is a pyramid?
A pyramid is a polyhedgron that has a polygon as a base and all line segments connect
to one point called the apex.
Hint: when you are finding the volume it is always in cubic meters.
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is the following:
The area of the base times the height divided by three equals to the volume of a pyramid.
In order to find the area of the base you need to follow the the following formula
A=1/2nas which is the number of sides times the apothem times the number
of sides divided by two.
Here is an example:
Try it on your own:
What is the volume?
Cones
A cone is a solid figure that has a circle as a base and connects to a point called the vertex.
How do you find the volume of a cone ?
The formula is
Here is an example:
Radius = 2 cm
Try it on your own!
Cone with radius of 300 meters,what will be the volume?
