Why is a rectangular pyramids not square pyramids?
The base is different. A rect. pyramid has a rectangle as a base. Because the sides are different length for a rectangle, the triangles will not all be congruent (equal). A square pyramid has a square as the base. All sides of the square are the same length, so all the triangular sides of the pyramid will be congruent.
What has the shape of a square pyramid?
It looks the same as a normal pyramid, the only difference is the base of the pyramid is square.
Are square base pyramid and tetrahedron the same?
NO
How do you solve volume of a 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
2 non similar square pyramids have the same volume for the first pyramid the side length of the base is 5in and the height is of 42in what is the side length of the base of the second pyramid?
Not too sure of the question but using Pythagoras' theorem may help in finding the solution.
