How to find the volume of an oblique pyramid

The video tutorial explains the concept of an oblique pyramid, highlighting its unique characteristic of having a slanted apex. It covers the formula for calculating the volume of a pyramid, emphasizing the importance of determining the correct height from the base to the apex. The tutorial provides a step-by-step guide to finding the area of a square base and concludes with the final volume calculation, ensuring the units are in cubic feet.

What is a key characteristic of an oblique pyramid?

• The apex is directly above the center of the base.

• All sides converge to the center of the base.

• It has a circular base.

• The apex is off-centered from the base.

When calculating the volume of an oblique pyramid, what is crucial to determine?

• The height from the base to the apex.

• The length of the base edges.

• The width of the base.

• The angle of the slant.

What is the formula used to calculate the volume of a pyramid?

• Base area multiplied by height.

• Base area divided by height.

• One-third of the base area multiplied by height.

• Base area plus height.

In the given example, what is the area of the base of the pyramid?

• 12 square feet

• 16 square feet

• 8 square feet

• 24 square feet

What is the final volume of the pyramid in the example?

• 16 cubic feet

• 48 cubic feet

• 32 cubic feet

• 24 cubic feet
