Question

Find the volume of AMLC. (see attachment.)

Answer 1

???

Answer 2

seems so .. from the top, but I can;t read which side is which side.

Answer 3

lol I meant pyramid with traingular base. What's it called btw?

Answer 4

tetrahedron or triangular pyramid. :D

Answer 5

hehe ... seems so. have you ever heard of square base prism??

Answer 6

yeah square base prism. no.

is that basically a square pyramid, or with one of the faces a square? I think the latter.

Answer 7

lol, wouldn't that be just a cuboid with two equal dimensions?

Answer 8

LOL ... square prism is a cuboid.

And I think, every geometric shape that tapers up is called pyramid ... eg cone.

Answer 9

It's a pyramid with triangle bottom.

Answer 10

No matter that the shape is, the area of pyramid will always be 1/3 * area of base * height

Answer 11

But I need the volume of AMLC, not ABCF.

Answer 12

Find the area of the base. ErKot

Answer 13

btw are you sure that you aren't trolling us? :D

Answer 14

Volume of any, yes ANY (by any I mean any no. of sides in the base) symmetric pyramidal form = (1/3) * (area of base) * height

Answer 15

I'm pretty sure I'm not trolling you. I'm just super tired and I have no idea how to translate the original problem into english.

Answer 16

If I want to find the volume of AMLC I need to find the AMC right? How should I do that?

Answer 17

find the area of the base, using heron's formula

Answer 18

But I don't know the AM and MC.

Answer 19

Do you know all sides of base triangle??

Answer 20

AB=4 , BC=3 , AC=5

Answer 21

you know heron's formula?? try to google it out.

Answer 22

If I need the volume of AMLC and I need AMC for that, why do I have to calculate the base ABC?

Answer 23

Well, I din't know that formula, can you send me the link ?? where i can find that formula.

Answer 24

Answer 25

are you trying to find the altitude of triangle??

Answer 26
