Do you remember how to calculate the volume of a pyramid?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

sadly no :(

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I feel kinda dum

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

You still with me?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah

OpenStudy (anonymous):

So you got that first part? i.e. to calculate the area of the base?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

no im so lost

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Do you know how to calculate the area of a rectangle?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

No I haven't been thought

OpenStudy (anonymous):

How to calculate the AREA of a RECTANGLE?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

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|

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay

OpenStudy (anonymous):

you add them right ?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

When you calculate the PERIMETER you add all the sides. But AREA is different... any other guesses?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

I just goanna give up okay thankx but im to stupid

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Hey, I'm willing to help... It's certainly not very helpful to criticize yourself. At some point, EVERYONE struggles with math...

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Yeah thank you! But Im just gonna give up Okay thank you again though

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Well, sometimes it's good to take a break... if you need help later, just ask. Good luck!

OpenStudy (anonymous):

Thankz
