Use this worksheet to practice finding the Volume and Surface Area of a Rectangular Pyramid. Adjust the height, length, and width using the labeled sliders. Answer the questions below. The multi-colored switches can be used to check your work.

  1. Find the volume of each Rectangular Pyramid to the nearest cubic metre.
    a. height 9cm, length 3cm, width 7cm b. height 2m, length 8.5m, width 3.4m

     

  2. Find the surface area of each Rectangular Pyramid to the nearest square metre.
    a. slant height 8cm, length 7cm, width 3cm b. slant height 3m, length 9m, width 5m

     

  3. Find the missing dimension. Round to the nearest unit.
    a. Rectangular Pyramid: volume 132m3, height ___, length 8m, width 4m
    b. Rectangular Pyramid: volume 268m3, height 9m, length ___, width 8m
    c. Rectangular Pyramid: surface area 135m2, slant height 8.5m, length 5m, width ___
    d. Rectangular Pyramid: surface area 221m2, slant height 9m, length___, width 6.7m

     

  4. How is the formula for volume of a prism like the formula for volume of a pyramid?
  5. How are the formulas different?
