Introductionm0d97c6963b3645ab_1528450127855_0Introduction

Revision of information about the pyramid – an educational game.

Copying the concept of popular game “20 questions”, the teacher asks the students to guess what types of pyramids he/she means. The students’ task is to guess the type of the pyramid, the dimensions of its base and altitude. The teacher only gives the total surface area of the pyramidtotal surface area of the pyramidtotal surface area of the pyramid.

The teacher informs the students that during this class they will calculate the volume of the pyramid.

Procedurem0d97c6963b3645ab_1528446435040_0Procedure

Group work.

Each group gets an empty box which has the shape of the regular quadrangular prism. The students also get several identical pyramid‑shaped containers filled with water. The containers filled with water have exactly the same altitudes and bases as the prisms. The students pour the water out of the pyramid‑shaped containers into the prism‑shaped box. They check how many containers they have emptied.

Conclusion:

- The prism‑shaped box held the water from three pyramid‑shaped containers. So, the volume of the prism is three times larger than the volume of the pyramid.m0d97c6963b3645ab_1527752263647_0- The prism‑shaped box held the water from three pyramid‑shaped containers. So, the volume of the prism is three times larger than the volume of the pyramid.

Conclusion:

- The volume of the pyramid is expressed with formula:m0d97c6963b3645ab_1527752256679_0- The volume of the pyramid is expressed with formula:

V=13·Pp·h

where:
PIndeks dolny p – the base area of the pyramid,
h – the altitude of the pyramid.

The students use the information to solve the tasks.

Task
The base of the pyramid in the diagram is a rectangle. Calculate the volume of the pyramid.
