Week 5-Volume + Surface Area of Pyramids and Cones

This week brought us back to a thing as simple as volume and area, but only with a larger formula. The only difficult part about this is remembering the formulas, but other than that you just have to plug in your measurements. When referring to a pyramid we are referring to a right pyramid. The formulas we use for a pyramid is SA(Pyramid)= Area Base + Area of Triangular Faces -V(Pyramid)= 1/3 Abase(h)- SA(Cone)=πr2 + πr – V(Cone)=1/3πr2h

And when you are plugging things into these formulas make sure you use your pie button rather then using 3.14, because otherwise your answer may be off.
