You really can't "prove" the formula. You use it. You first square the base 'b'. Then, you multiply that number by the height 'h'. Then, you divide the product of the base squared and height by 3. Boom! You get your answer. In my school, we get a formula sheet with all the formulas we will need to use. If you didn't understand the description above, here is the formula for a square pyramid:1/3b2 h.

Hope this helped!

How do you prove formula for volume of pyramid?

This is easiest done with integral calculus. The basic idea is to divide the pyramid into lots of thin, flat, parallel slabs, calculate the volume of each, and add it up.

Prove that square of 2 is irrational?

It is not possible to prove something that is not true. The square of 2 is rational, not irrational.


How do you find the volume of a cubical box when diagonal is given?

Cool question ! Answer - half it then cube it to prove it - an example for you if cube diagonal (not square diagonal) is 100, then using pythagoras theorm the square diagonal = 70.71068, If square the square diagonal = 70.71068, then using pythagoras theorm the side length = 50 therefore the volume = 50 ^ 3 = 25000 units works with any numbers


What is the volume of a cylinder has a radius of 40 cm and height of 60 cm?

The volume of a cylinder is the area of its base's area times the height (you will prove this in Calculus). Thus the formula you need to use is: pi * radius^2 * height. I will let you do your own homework from there.

How do you use the distance formula to prove the figure on the coordinate plane is a square?

You can use the distance formula to show that all four sides are the same length. The shape must, therefore, be a rhombus or square. If you then show that the length of the diagonal is sqrt(2) times the length of the side then, by Pythagoras, the diagonal and sides from a right angled triangle. The shape must, therefore, be a square.
