Lesson: Volumes of Pyramids Mathematics • Second Year of Secondary School

Join Nagwa Classes

Attend live General Mathematics sessions on Nagwa Classes to learn more about this topic from an expert teacher!

In this lesson, we will learn how to find the volume of a pyramid and solve problems including real-life situations.

Students will be able to

recall the formula for the volume of a pyramid,
find the volume of a pyramid with known side lengths (where the height of the pyramid can be calculated) when the pyramid base is one of the following:
- a triangle,
- a quadrilateral,
- a regular polygon with more than 4 sides (pentagon, hexagon, etc.),
- an arbitrary polygon with a given area,
calculate a missing length of a pyramid when given its volume,
use knowledge of the volume of a pyramid to solve problems presented as real-life systems.
