Solve the following problems. Show your solution at the space provided.

1. A pyramid of altitude 18 m. and a lateral area of 200 sq. m. is divided into three parts by two
planes passed parallel to the base. If these planes are distant 6 m. and 12 m. respectively from the
vertex, find the ratio of the lateral area of the smaller part to the largest part.

2. A regular triangular pyramid has an altitude of 9 m. and a volume of 187.06

m3. What is the base edge in meters?

Altitude(height(h))=9 m, volume =187.06 cu. M

pyramid of altitude 25 ft. and the base edge of 10 ft. How much will the surface rise when 6,779
liters of water is added?

4. A right pyramid has a square base and a lateral area of 144 sq. in. If the slant height is twice
the length of the base edge, find the volume of the pyramid.

Course/Year: BSED MATH 1 Teacher: Mrs. Maria Crisella A. Dela Cruz

Solve the following problems. Show your solution at the space provided.
1. The altitude of the frustum of a regular pyramid is 5 m., the volume is 140 cu.m. and the upper
base is 3 m. by 4 m. What are the dimensions of the lower base, in meters?
2. The frustum of a regular triangular pyramid has equilateral triangles for its bases. The lower
and the upper edges are 9 m. and 3 m., respectively. If the volume is 118.2 cu.m., how far apart
are the bases?

3. A frustum of a regular hexagonal pyramid has an upper edge of 16 ft. and a lower base edge of
28 ft. If the lateral area of the frustum is 1,716 sq.ft., find the altitude of the frustum.

4. The volume of the frustum of a regular triangular pyramid is 135 cu.m. The lower base is an
equilateral triangle with an edge of 9 m. The upper base is 8 m. above the lower base. What is
the upper base, in meters?
