How can I calculate the volume of a pyramid using double integrals? (I know the height and the length of each side at the base)

Question

amistre64 · Answer

what does double integrating mean for us?

amistre64 · Answer

and volume is best defined by 3 movements (3 dimensions)

amistre64 · Answer

if we are considering some sort of function as a cap (surface) thenit might have to be split up

osanseviero · Answer

Multivariable calculus. Integrating in terms of x and y.

osanseviero · Answer

I know the 4 points of the base, I was thinking in getting the 4 equations of the lines.

amistre64 · Answer

since the base is usually what is moved across, and we evaluate the function (height) at a given point z(x,y)

amistre64 · Answer

are you trying to develop the formula:  1/3 (area of a cube)

osanseviero · Answer

No, but the result should be the same. I need to find the volume of the Cheops pyramid with double integrals.

osanseviero · Answer

Each side is 230.36m, the height is 140.6. With the formula I get 2,583,148.32m^2.

I got the diagonal and did something like this
