Example of Pentagonal Pyramid

• Find the volume of a pentagonal pyramid of apothem length 5 cm, base length 7 cm and height 11 cm ?

• Solution: Given,a = 5 cmb = 7 cmh = 11 cm

Volume of a pentagonal pyramid= 5/6 x abh

= 5/6 × 5 cm × 7 cm × 11 cm

= 320.833 cm3

RIGHT vs. OBLIQUE Pyramid

- tell us where the top (apex) of the pyramid is

- when the apex is directly above the center of the base it is a Right Pyramid, otherwise it is an Oblique Pyramid.
