The volume of a truncated rectangular pyramidal pond 2016-05-13
Paul pose la question :
How do you calculate a partially filled truncated rectangular pyramid if you always know the bottom rectangle, the maximum height top rectangle perimeter, but have a varying height. Similar to filling up a pond you know the current height and dimensions at the max rectangle how do you calculate it half full i.e. 10x30 outside perimeter with a 2x8 base and a max height of 6ft how do you calculate it at 3ft without re-measuring the top perimeter. Thanks, Paul

A gravel pile in the shape of a triangular pyramid 2013-04-04
Casey pose la question :
Hello
Right now I am stuck and I feel embarrassed because I feel like the answer is so easy I should know it.

I am working on a project and need to find a volume of gravel it will take to occupy this triangular prism like area. I am not sure what formulas I should use whether it be that for the volume of a pyramid or something more complex? Basically it forms a right triangle at one side then from there all points slope to one singular point about 10412mm away.
I am attaching a picture drawn up in paint with the actual dimensions to clear up any confusion.

Thank you for any help. Casey

Building a custom range hood 2011-10-08

I'm building a custom range hood for a customer with special order material that matches their newly installed cabinets and I need it to be perfect. The hood is basically a pyramid but the 4th side is the flat wall at the back and a flat, rectangular top. I need to calculate the bevel and miter of the three sides but I never was very good with geometry functions (although I am fairly good with other math fields). I either need the calculations from you at least (shudder) a formula or set of formulas so that I can calculate them myself.

Slicing a rectangular parallelepiped 2011-02-23
tom pose la question :
a) Pass a plane containing a vertex of a rectangular parallelepiped and a diagonal of a face not containing that vertex to cut a pyramid from the parallelepiped. What fraction of the volume of the parallelepiped is the volume of the pyramid thus cut off?

b)Pass a plane through a cube of edge 8 in so that the section formed will be a regular hexagon. Through each side of the hexagon pass two planes, one plane containing one of the two vertices of the cube which are farthest away from the plane of the hexagon, the other plane containing the diagonally opposite vertex of the cube. Find the volume of the solid bounded by these planes.

c)three of the edges of a rectangular parallelepiped that meet in a point are also the lateral edges of a pyramid. What fraction of the parallelepiped is this pyramid...?

you know the my only problem is how to illustrate this one...if only i could ...can you help me....all I need is the drawing and I can do the rest ..it's fine if you'll only answer any of these but I'll be thankful if you will do the three :)....

A square pyramid 2010-05-26
Georgia pose la question :

Question from Georgia, a student:

I have been given the following question in a maths assingment, and have so far been unable to answer it.

To begin, i am required to draw a square pyramid as follows:
1. draw a 3 dimensional diagram of a square based pyramid
2. label the square base as ABCD, call the vertex H.
3. Mark in E and F the midpoints of AD and BC respectively and O is the midpoint of EF
Note: this therefore makes FO = FC

this i was fine with, it was the following question that stumped me.

1. if the height of the pyramid is 280m, what is the length of the base?

Thanks, Georgia

Tom pose la question :
I am planning to build an open ended, flat-topped pyramid with a rectangular base 28 x 36 in.; a square top 6 x6 in.; and a vertical height of 16 in.

I know how to calculate the dimensions of each of the pyramid sides but I don't know how to calculate the interior angles when I bend the sheet metal. I will cut the four sides separately and add a one inch flange to each "vertical" edge of the two larger sides to allow for a bonding surface for the assembly. How do I calculate that angle? I know it will be greater than 90 degrees but by how much?

A block pyramid 2005-11-05
Kyle pose la question :
if i make a block pyramid and it puts a new perimeter around it every time, for example the first layer will be 1 block across (area=1), the second layer will be 3 blocks across (area=9), the third layer will be 5 blocks across (area=15),etc. The normal block pyramid. I have figured out that in order to figure out the number of blocks needed for a certain level, the equation is (2x-1)2 or (2x-1)(2x-1), where x is equal to the level. For example, on the fourth level, the equation tells you that it will have an area of 49. How would i make an equation for the total number of blocks up to the level. For example, in order to complete 1 level you need 1 block, for 2 levels you need 10 blocks, for three levels you need 35 blocks, and for 4 levels you need 84 blocks.

Painting a pyramid 2005-09-13
Cindi pose la question :
The base of the pyramid is 100 blocks by 100 blocks; each successive layer is one less block wide and deep until the top layer which is simply one block. Each block is 97 cm wide by 97 cm deep by 63 cm tall. If one liter of paint can coat exactly three square meters how many liters are required to coat the entire exposed surface of the pyramid? Round up to the nearest liter.

A pyramid 2005-04-24
Marc pose la question :
I'm helping my daughter build a pyramid,it needs to be 30cm in height. I have cut out four pieces at 30 deg angles. When I went to join up the pieces it did not fit. I re-check my measuments and found that they were correct. Do I need to cut two pieces smaller so they can match up? Did I cut them at the wrong angles. My base is also 30cm, is that my problem?

A 6 sided (hexagonal) pyramid 2005-01-22
Steve pose la question :
im trying to make a 6 sided (hexagon) pyramid, from 6 triangles of 12mm plywood, i know all the angles to cut apart from the one one to join all 6 triangles together. Rough measurements are outer edge (A) of each triangle is 13cm's, length of other 2 sides (B&C) of triangle outside to center is 14cm's with a height of the whole thing together about 6cm's.

A pyramid-shaped tank 2004-02-13
Annette pose la question :
The base of a pyramid-shaped tank is a square with sides of length 9 feet, and the vertex of the pyramid is 12 feet above the base. The tank is filled to a depth of 4 feet, and water is flowing into the tank at a rate of 3 cubic feet per second. Find the rate of change of the depth of water in the tank. (Hint: the volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 B h , where B is the base area and h is the height of the pyramid.)

Nets for pyramids 2002-02-14
Michelle pose la question :
I want to have my students create nets for pyramids and I need to know how to find the correct range of degrees for the interior congruent angles of the isosceles triangular faces. For example, I know for a square-based pyramid that 77 degrees will work; however, I know other angle measures will also work. I'm just not sure how to find the minimum degree measure to have the net actually "work". I'm assuming the maximum would be 89 degrees, although that would make for a very tall pyramid.

Building a pyramid 2000-02-26
Francis X. Hines Jr. pose la question :
I am presently trying to build a pyramid. I can understand that the base has 90 degree angles on the first plane which is the outline of the square that makes up the floor.

As close as I can figure the slope of each wall face is 35 degrees or 35.7 to be exact if I am correct by using 360 as the total of the three interior angles.Now , I run into a compound angle where the corners meet what would be the angle created by the two 35 degree angles that would allow for the 90 degree edge to continue.

Because I'm working in three dimensions I also need to be sure that my math would be correct when I substract 35 from 90 to aquire the angle of the narrow edge as to allow for a 90 degree surface to be present ..to allow for another level to be added with only the base line being shortened. I hope you can understand what it is that I'm asking assistance with.I would greatly appericate your help.
