How does calculus impact your society?

The biggest impact I think of: Calculus is how people invented the formulas to get the volume and surface area of spheres/cones/pyramids.


The general formula for volume is?

that would depend on the shape of the volume. for a box, it would be width * depth * height For a sphere it would be (4 * pi * radius^3) / 3 Pyramids, cones, and other shapes, of course, will have their own formulas.


What is the formulae for surface area and volume for pyramids and cones?

How are rectangular prisms and priamides the same?

Rectangular prisms and pyramids are both three-dimensional geometric shapes. They share the characteristic of having a base and vertices, with prisms having two parallel bases that are congruent rectangles, while pyramids have a single base and triangular faces that converge at a point called the apex. Both shapes can be analyzed in terms of volume and surface area, though their formulas differ due to their distinct structures. Additionally, they both belong to the broader category of polyhedra, which are solid shapes with flat polygonal faces.


How are hexagonal prisim and pyramids alike?

Hexagonal prisms and hexagonal pyramids are both polyhedra that feature hexagonal bases, which means they each have six sides in their base shape. They share similar geometric properties, including the ability to tessellate in certain arrangements. Additionally, both types of solids can be characterized by their vertical height and their volume can be calculated using base area and height formulas. However, they differ in that a prism has two parallel hexagonal bases, while a pyramid has one hexagonal base and converges to a single apex point.

How was trigonometry used in the construction of the pyramids of Egypt?

Obviously, the pyramids have a lot to do with triangles. To find the hight, length, width, volume, angle of ascent, and surface area of the pyramids, the egyptians had to use trigonometry.

Are the great pyramids of Egypt the biggest pyramids in the world?

Yes, the Great Pyramid of Giza is one of the largest pyramids in the world in terms of volume and mass. It is not the tallest, but it is the most famous and well-preserved of the ancient Egyptian pyramids.
