The answer is still:

Volume pyramid = 1/3 x base_area x height

= 1/3 x (6m x 6m) x 6m

= 72m3.

V(pyramid) = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base.

V = (1/3)(6^2)(6) = 72 m^3

What is the volume of a right pyramid whose base is a square with a side of 6 m long and whose altitude is equal to the base side?

Volume pyramid = 1/3 x base_area x height = 1/3 x (6m x 6m) x 6m = 72m3.


The slant height of a pyramid and the altitude of a pyramid are equal true or false?

False


The volume of a triangle pyramid is 100 cubic meters The base is a triangle with an area equal to 20 square meters?

Yes, it can be.


Find the volume of a triangular pyramid?

A pyramid has a base and triangular sides which rise to meet at the same point. The base may be any polygon such as a square, rectangle, triangle, etc. The general formula for the volume of a pyramid is:Area of the base * Height * 1/3 The volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is equal to: Length_of_base * Width_of_base * Height * 1/3

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.)


Does a square pyramid have 4 equal sides?

no it does not


How many equal side does a pyramid have?

A pyramid does not need to have any equal sides. A REGULAR pyramid has as many equal sides as the number of sides on the base. So, a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) will have 3 equal faces, a square based pyramid will have 4, etc.


How does the volume of the pyramid compare to the prism with equal dimensions?

Vol(Pyramid) = 1/3*Vol(Prism)


A square pyramid has a height of 18cm and base that measures 12cm on each side explain whether tripling the height would triple the volume of the pyramid?

Yes, the volume triples. When you have a height of 18, the volume will equal 864. (Volume of a pyramid is the area of the base x the height x 1/3)18*3=54. When you plug this in to the above listed formula, the volume will be 2592. Divide that by three and you get 864.
