OBJECTIVEOBJECTIVE

To understand square pyramid

To understand the volume of square pyramid

Square PyramidSquare Pyramid

The base of the square pyramid is squareThe base of the square pyramid is square

The Lateral face of the square pyramid is isosceles triangle

The height of the square pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the base to the vertex

h

The length of the side of the square pyramid is ‘a’ the height of the square pyramid is ‘h’

The base area of the square pyramid = side x side = a x a = a²

The volume of the square pyramid=1/3 x base area x height =1/3 x a² x h

= 1/3 a²h.

CONCLUSIONCONCLUSION

The volume of a square pyramid with length of a side of the base a and height his 1/3 a²h.
