The document discusses geometry theorems and concepts. It states that the volume of a regular pyramid with a square base and equal sides is equal to the square root of 2 over 3 times the length of one side times the length cubed. It also describes Cavalieri's principle, which states that if two solids of equal altitude have equal sections made by parallel planes at the same distance from their bases, then the volumes of the two solids are equal.

Theorem 4.10.10 (Volume of a regular pyramid (all sides equal))
When the pyramid has a square base, and all the sides are equal √ 2 3 Volume of a regular pyramid = s 6
Concept 4.10.11 (Cavalieri’s principle)
If there are two solids of equal altitude, the sections made by planes parallel to and at the same distance from their respective bases are always equal, then the volumes of the two solids are equal
