Understanding Polygon Pyramids

What is the formula for calculating the volume of a polygon pyramid?

• Volume = base * height

• Volume = base + height

• Volume = 1/2 * base * height

• Volume = 1/3 * base * height

In the practice problem, what is the length of each side of the polygon?

• 10

• 6

• 5

• 4

How do you calculate the base area of a polygon in the practice problem?

• Base = 1/2 * apothem * perimeter

• Base = apothem + perimeter

• Base = apothem * perimeter

• Base = perimeter / apothem

What is the final volume of the polygon pyramid in the practice problem?

• 400

• 300

• 200

• 100

What is the height of the pyramid in the practice problem?

• 4

• 5

• 6

• 10
