*The tools needed:
The best material to make a pyramid is soft wood, then cartoon ant at last plastic.
*How to make a pyramid:
In order to measure the base of a pyramid, one has to carry out this sum: --The base = the wanted height x 1,57.
-The side = the same height x 1,49.
Then we have to cut four triangles, which have the same size, which would from the great pyramid.
The following table makes this task easier:Height |
Base |
Sides |
6 Inches 8 Inches 10 Inches 12 Inches |
9,42 Inches 12,56 Inches 10,7 Inches 18,84 Inches |
8,94 Inches 11,92 Inches 14,9 Inches 17,88 Inches |
There is another way for making pyramid in which we use no measures at all. You have to draw two lines of the same length A-B / A-C, and the two lines must be congruent then draw a straight between the end of them
After that you have a face of a pyramid, then making four faces from it and consisted them, finally you have a pyramid for your experiments.
Like the following drawing:
