G.G-GMD.A.1
Analyze and verify the formulas for the volume of a cylinder, pyramid, and cone.
Example Problems
To find the volume of the triangular pyramid, use the formula:
First, determine the area of the base (). The base is a right triangle with legs of and :
Next, identify the height of the pyramid (). According to the diagram, the height is .
Now, substitute the values for and into the volume formula:
The volume of the figure is 8 cubic miles.
