Do you remember how to calculate the volume of a pyramid?
sadly no :(
I feel kinda dum
It's easy: First, calculate the area of the BASE. So if the base is a 5 by 4 rectangle, the base has an area of 20. Right?
You still with me?
Yeah
So you got that first part? i.e. to calculate the area of the base?
no im so lost
Do you know how to calculate the area of a rectangle?
Because all your questions deal with either square bases or rectangle bases. The BASE, by the way, is just the shape of the bottom part of the pyramid...
No I haven't been thought
How to calculate the AREA of a RECTANGLE?
For instance, here's a picture of a rectangle with one side equal to 5 and the other side equal to 8. Do you know what the area of the rectangle is? |dw:1383154081853:dw|
okay
you add them right ?
When you calculate the PERIMETER you add all the sides. But AREA is different... any other guesses?
I just goanna give up okay thankx but im to stupid
Hey, I'm willing to help... It's certainly not very helpful to criticize yourself. At some point, EVERYONE struggles with math...
Yeah thank you! But Im just gonna give up Okay thank you again though
Well, sometimes it's good to take a break... if you need help later, just ask. Good luck!
Thankz
