The document explains the concept of volume, specifically in relation to pyramids, which are three-dimensional shapes with a polygonal base and triangular sides. It details the properties of rectangular pyramids, including the definitions of height and slant height, and provides the formula for calculating the volume of a rectangular pyramid as one-third of the volume of a rectangular prism with the same base and height. The volume formulas are presented as V_pyramid = (l x w x h) / 3.

• Volume is the amount of space taken up or

occupied by an object or that is enclosed


within a container. The volume measures
how much space an object occupies or the
capacity of a container.
• Pyramids are three-dimensional geometric
shapes where the base is a polygon, and all
other sides are triangles that meet at the
apex or vertex.
•

The height of the pyramid is the perpendicular


height, which is the distance from the apex or
vertex to the base of the pyramid.
• The slant height is the distance measured along a
lateral face from the apex to the base edge. It is the
height of the triangle, which is the lateral face of the
pyramid.
•VOLUME OF RECTANGULAR PYRAMID
• A Rectangular Pyramid is a three-dimensional geometric shape that
has a rectangular base and four triangular faces (lateral faces) that are
joined at the top by a vertex or apex. Figures 1, 2, and 3 above are
examples of rectangular pyramids. The bottom rectangles are called
the base of the pyramid.
• Imagine that we can fill a rectangular pyramid fully with water. If we
pour this water into a rectangular prism of the same base and height
as the rectangular pyramid, we would observe that the level of water is
exactly one third of the height of the rectangular prism. This is always
the case for any pyramid.
• That is, the volume of a pyramid is one-third of the volume of a prism of
the same base and perpendicular height. Particularly, the volume of a
rectangular pyramid is one-third of the volume of a rectangular prism of

the same base and perpendicular height. Recall,

• 𝑉𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑑 = (𝑉𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑚)
• 𝑉𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑑 =(𝐴𝑏𝑎𝑠𝑒 𝑥 ℎ)
• 𝑉𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑑 =(𝑙 𝑥 𝑤 𝑥 ℎ)

• 𝑉𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑑 = (𝑙 𝑥 𝑤 𝑥 ℎ)
