truncated pyramid
The formula for the volume of a truncated square pyramid with height h, and top edge a cm and bottom edge b cm is V = 1/3*(a2 + ab + b2)*h.
A truncated pyramid has: faces = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base + 2 vertices = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 2 edges = number_of_edges_round_polygon_of_base x 3
To calculate the surface area of a truncated pyramid, you first take the surface area of each side. That would be the base time the straight height. If it is a 4 side pyramid with equivelant sides, multiply that answer by 4.
A cube, a rectangular solid (box) or any skewed version of these. Even a truncated pyramid (square base, four sides, but top cut off).
