Short Answer

Sketch the following square pyramid described. Then find its lateral area, total area, and volume.
$Base edge = 16, Lateral edge = 17$

The sketch of the pyramid will be as shown

The lateral area, total area and volume of pyramid are .

TABLE OF CONTENTS

Step 1. Given information.

A square pyramid with base edge 16 and lateral edge 17.

Step 2. Sketch the pyramid.

Now to draw pyramid, first draw a parallelogram for the base and sketch diagonals and then draw a vertical segment at the point where the diagonal intersects and then join the vertex to the base vertices,

Thus, the pyramid can be obtained as:

Step 3. Interpretation.

Form the above graph and base edge and lateral edge it can be observed that the lateral area, total area and volume of pyramid are $480, 736 and \frac{256 \sqrt{161}}{3}$ .

Find the height and the volume of a regular hexagonal pyramid with lateral edges 10 ft and base edges 6 ft.

How many lateral faces are in the following prism?

If the length and width of a rectangular solid are each decreased by 20%, by what percent must the height be increased for the volume to remain unchanged? Give your answer to the nearest whole percent.

Refer to rectangular solids with dimensions l, w and h. Complete the following table.

$\begin{matrix} l & 9 \\ w \\ h & 2 \\ L.A. & 60 \\ T.A. \\ V \end{matrix}$

A right prism has square bases with edges that are three times as long as the lateral edges. The prism’s total area is 750 m². Find the volume.
