Pyramids

 

Objective:

             • Learning and using the parts of pyramids, finding areas and volumes of pyramids

       

Lesson 12-2 Pyramids:

             Pyramid: Structure with a base and triangular sides meeting at a point

           Vertex: The point where the triangular sides meet

            Base: The bottom of the structure

              Altitude: The segment from the vertex perpendicular to the base. It is also the height of the pyramid.

            Lateral faces: The triangular faces

            Lateral edges: The segment where the lateral faces intersects.

            Regular pyramids: These pyramids have the following properties: (1) The base is a regular polygon  (2)All lateral faces are congruent isosceles triangles. (3) The altitude meets the base at its center, O. 

             Slant Height (l): The height of a lateral face

Theorem 12-3 The Lateral area of a regular pyramid equals half the perimeter of the base times the slant height (L.A.=1/2pl) The slant height: 10 The perimeter of the polygon: 60 Lateral area= 1/2 (60)(10) =300 Theorem 12-4 The Volume of a pyramid equal one third the area of the base the height of the pyramid. (V=1/3 Bh) The height: 10 The area of the polygon: 25 Volume= 1/3 (25)(10) = 250/3
