Flashcards

Volume of a Pyramid

The volume of a pyramid is calculated by one third times the base area times the height (V = 1/3Bh).

Volume of a Cone

The volume of a cone equals one third times the base area times the height (V = 1/3 * πr²h).

Cavalieri's Principle

Cavalieri's Principle states that if two solids have the same height and the same cross-sectional area at every level, then they have the same volume.

Volume of a Cylinder

The formula for the volume of a cylinder is given by V = πr²h, where r is the radius and h is the height.

Study Notes

  • The volume of a pyramid equals one third the product of the area of the base and the height of the pyramid

    V = (1/3)Bh

  • According to Cavalieri's Principle, the volume formula applies to all pyramids, even oblique ones

  • The height of an oblique pyramid refers to the length of the perpendicular line from the vertex to the base plane

  • The volume of a cone is one third the product of the area of the base and the height of the cone

    • V = (1/3)Bh, or V = (1/3)Ï€r²h
  • This formula is applicable to all cones, including oblique cones
