What is the formula for working out the height of a square based pyramid using the base length of one of the faces and the length of the slanted edge?
OlUncleWedge
Use the pythagorean theorem. The slanted edge will be the hypotenus, 1/2 base will be one leg(b/c the point is in the center therefore only 1/2 the distance across) , and the height will be another leg.
The ^ symbol stands for "raised to the power of"
the theorem is (A^2) + (B^2) = C^2
A and B are legs and C is the slanted edge.
Assume the edge is 5 inches long, and the whole base is 6 inches long. leaving the height as B.
A=3 b/c it is one half the base, C=5, and B is unknown
if put in the equation you will derive:
B^2=16
Find the square root of 16. = 4
There! 4 would be the answer in this equation

What is volume of rectangle pyramid of base 12m5m and height 9m?
Formula for volume of pyramid is 1/3*base area*height Formula for area of rectangle (in this case the base) is length*breadth So, the volume of the pyramid is 1/3*12*5*9=180m3
What is the formula for finding the volume of a triangular pyramid?
It is 1/3*(base area)*(vertical height).
Formula for volume of a triangular pyramid?
1/3*base area*height in cubic units
How do you find lateral area of a pyramid?
If it is a regular pyramid you need to find out the base perimeter, multiply it by the height of the sides (when considered as triangles) and divide by two. The height of the side can be found using Pythagoras's formula if you know the height of the pyramid and the length of a side. The side height of a pyramid is also known as the slanted height or L in a formula. Formula:permiter of base x L(side height) ( P of B)(L) p x L(slant) ----------------------------------------- = --------------------- 2 2 Good luck!
Volume of a pyrimid?
1/3(b*h) b means the base of the pyramid h means the height of height of the pyramid. The height is not to be confused with the lateral height (Which is the slanted height.) The height is found by drawing a segment from the vertex (or apex) of the pyramid to the center of the base.
What is the formula for a pyramid?
base*width*height

What is the formula of pyramid if its height is 13 cm and its base is 7.5 cm?
Volume of a pyramid = 1/3*base area*height
What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid and cone?
Cone: (1/3) * Pi * Radius² * Height Pyramid: (1/3) * (Base Area) * Height
How do you convert the volume of a prism into the volume of a pyramid that has the same base area and height?
formula of the volume of a prism = (base area)(height) formula of the volume of a pyramid = (1/3)(base area)(height) therefore, to convert the volume of a prism to that of a pyramid, just divide it by 3
How do you find lateral area of a square pyramid?
You need some information about the height of the pyramid and the formula will depend on whether you have the vertical height or the slant height or the length of a lateral edge.
What is the formula for the volume of a pyramid with base area B and height h?
Volume of a pyramid in cubic units: 1/3*base area*height
What is the formula for a rectangular pyramid?
1/3 base x height
What is the formula for finding the volume for a triangular pyramid?
The formula for finding the volume for a triangular pyramid is half base x height x length. A triangular pyramid has four faces.
