How do I find the volume of pyramids ad cones?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Square pyramid is V = 1/3 Bh. Cones is V =1/3 (3.14)r^2*h

OpenStudy (anonymous):

B = area of base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

what does Bh mean? and is V volume?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

volume of pyramids =1/3*base area*height cones=1/3(area of a cylinder) 1/3[pi]*(radius)^2*Height

OpenStudy (anonymous):

these results are obtain by either using solid of revolution or triple (even double) integral associated with the volume and area of the object.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

lucas in your answer you wrote r^2*h...what does the ^ and * mean?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^means exponent * means multiplication

OpenStudy (anonymous):

^ = raise (number after raise is an exponent) * = multiply (2*2 means 2 times 2)

OpenStudy (anonymous):

2^2 means \[2^2\]
