Volume of a Pyramid WORKSHEET

Suitable for Year groups: Year 10, Year 11
GCSE Tier: Higher
Targeting grades: 6-7
Prerequisite knowledge: Calculating area. Pythagoras in 3D.
Learning Objective: Calculate the volume of a pyramid.

Volume of a Pyramid WORKSHEET DESCRIPTION

This worksheet provides a detailed exploration of calculating the volume of pyramids.

Section A focuses on practising applying the formula for the volume of a pyramid with given dimensions.

In Section B, students are asked to sketch three pyramids with the same specified volume. This section challenges them to calculate the area of the base and apply the volume formula for pyramids.

Section C extends learners as they are required to use Pythagoras’ theorem in 3D in order to find the perpendicular height of three pyramids before they can calculate their volume.

Section D offers more complex challenges, including finding unknown dimensions when the volume is provided and solving problems involving composite shapes.

This comprehensive worksheet ensures mastery of pyramid volume calculations.

All worksheets are created by the team of experienced teachers at Cazoom Maths.
