2. Unlocking Content Area Vocabulary them to learn the lesson.
Pyramids are three-dimensional geometric
shapes where the base is a polygon, and all other
sides are triangles that meet at the apex or vertex.
A rectangular pyramid is a solid figure that has
a rectangular base and four triangular faces
joined at the top by a vertex. The bottom
rectangles are called the base of the pyramid.
Since a square is a rectangle with four equal
sides, then a square pyramid is a rectangular
pyramid with a square base, and four triangular
faces joined at the top by a vertex.

 MATATAG K TO 10 CURRICULUM

The height of the square pyramid is the perpendicular height, which is the
distance from the apex or vertex to its base. The slant height is the perpendicular
distance measured along a lateral face from the apex to the base edge.

Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid is 378 𝑚3.

Example 2. Find the volume of a square pyramid if its height is 12 inches and
its base edge is 7 inches.
Solution:
 What is being asked in the problem?
The volume of a square pyramid is asked.
 What is the unit used in the problem?
The unit used in the problem is inches (in).
 What is the volume of the square pyramid?

Therefore, the volume of the composite solid Vtotal = 80 in3 + 32 in3 = 112 in3.

Example 5. Find the volume of the composite solid shown.

Solution:
The composite solid is composed of a rectangular
prism and a rectangular pyramid on top. To find its
volume, we need to add the volumes of the prism and the
pyramid.

𝑉 =𝐴 × ℎ 𝑉

𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑚 𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑑 31
𝑉 = 60 𝑐𝑚3 𝑉 = (24 𝑐𝑚3) = 8 𝑐𝑚3
𝑝𝑟𝑖𝑠𝑚 𝑝𝑦𝑟𝑎𝑚𝑖𝑑 3

Thus, the volume of the composite solid Vtotal = 60 cm3 + 8 cm3 = 68 cm3.
