Question

Medal and Fan for help with Geometry

Answer 1

ahemm ok... so...notice the base of the "triangular pyramid"
let us lift it up some, so we can take a peek

Answer 2

so not to confuse, the pyramid itself has that base
and the base is just a triangle, that itself, when put UP, has a base and a height

Answer 3

3*4

Answer 4

yeap

so...now that we know the base and height of that triangle (which is the base of the pyramid)

what would be the area of that triangle?

Answer 5

If the formula is 3*4/2 it would be 6.

Answer 6

Answer 7

yes

so.. now we know the area of that triangle (which is the base of the pyramid)

well.. now just notice the height of the pyramid
and keep in mind that

so.. what do you think is the area of that pyramid then?

Answer 8

hmm hmm hold ... rats.. you need the volume

Answer 9

lemme hmmm is correct, just lemme reword that some :)

Answer 10

4

Answer 11

4?

Answer 12

check again

we know the area of the pyramid's base is 6
we know the height of the pyramid is 6
we know the \(\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}=\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot Base\cdot height\)

so... what does that give us for volume?

Answer 13

\(\bf \textit{volume of a pyramid}=\cfrac{1}{3}\cdot 6\cdot 6\implies ?\)

Answer 14
