Volume of a right square pyramid?
1/3 b x h b=area of base h=height of pyramid
The volume formula for a right pyramid is V equals Bh What does B represent?
B=Area of the base
How do you find the slant height of a pyramid with a rectangular base?
If you make a line from the top of the pyramid to the center of the base, you have the height of the pyramid. This meets at the midsegment of a line going across the base. Since the height of a pyramid is perpendicular with the base, get this: the height, a line of 1/2 the length of the base, and the slant height form a right triangle. So, you can use the Pythagorean Theorem! For example, if the base length is 6 and the height of the pyramid is 4, then you can plug them into the Pythagorean Theorem (a squared + b squared = c squared, a and b being the legs of a right triangle and c being the hypotenuse). 1/2 the length of the base would be 6 divided by 2=3. 3 squared + 4 squared = slant height squared. 9+16=slant height squared. 25= slant height squared. Slant height=5 units. You're welcome!
How many right angles on a hexagonal pyramid?
There are no right angles (90 degrees) in a hexagonal pyramid.
Is the height of a right pyramid longer than its slant height?
no
Given a right cone with radius r and slant height s what does the formula rs represent?
The lateral area... Apex :)
What is the area of a square pyramid?
The answer will depend on the area of the base, whether or not it is a right pyramid, and its height.
The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are not the same thing?
True, because the slant height and the altitude, or height, of the pyramid form one leg and the hypotenuse of a triangle withing the pyramid, and the hypotenuse of a triangle is always the longest side- it is not possible for the hypotenuse to be equal to the legs of a right triangle. (It is a right triangle because an altitude is perpendicular to the base of a pyramid.)
When you see a picture of a right pyramid with a regular polygon base how do you identify its height and its slant height?
Its vertical height is that of the perpendicular from the centre of the base to the apex; the slant height is the length of the sloping "corner" between two faces. The height of a regular pyramid is the vertical distance from the center of base to the top and is usually shown with a line perpendicular to the base, denoted with a right angle to the base. The slant height it the height of the lateral face (the triangles) from the edge of the base to the top of the pyramid. It is the height of the triangle, not the pyramid itself. The slant height will also be the hypotenuse of a right angle formed from the altitude of the pyramid and the distance from the center of the base to the edge.
How do you work out the trigonometry of a rectangular based pyramid?
The answer depends on what you wish to work out: the angles, height, surface area, volume. Also, you need more information: the vertical or inclined height and whether or not the pyramid is a right pyramid.
What is the surface area of the right square pyramid in square meters?
It depends on the dimensions of the base and the height (slant or vertical) of the pyramid.
Volume of a right square pyramid?
1/3 b x h b=area of base h=height of pyramid
How are the volumes of right pyramid and right cone related to the volume of a right prism and right cylinder?
The volume of the pyramid and cone is one third the volume of the corresponding (ie same [size] base and height) prism and cylinder.
The volume formula for a right pyramid is V equals Bh What does B represent?
B=Area of the base

How much wood is needed to replace the entire roof of a gazebo that is a shape of a right pyramid on top of a regular octagon?
The answer will depend on the height of the pyramid - or, equivalently, the pitch of the roof.
