How Do You Find the Volume of a Rectangular Pyramid?
Note:
To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you need to know the length and width of the base and the height of the pyramid. Then, take those values, plug them into the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid, and simplify to get your answer! Watch this tutorial to see how it's done!
Background Tutorials
-
Evaluate expressions at specific values of their variables. Include expressions that arise from formulas used in real-world problems. Perform arithmetic operations, including those involving whole-number exponents, in the conventional order when there are no parentheses to specify a particular order (Order of Operations).

What is a Variable?
You can't do algebra without working with variables, but variables can be confusing. If you've ever wondered what variables are, then this tutorial is for you!
-
What's the Order of Operations?
Check out this tutorial where you'll see exactly what order you need to follow when you simplify expressions. You'll also see what happens when you don't follow these rules, and you'll find out why order of operations is so important!

What is a Pyramid?
You've probably seen pictures of Egyptian pyramids, or maybe you've even seen them in person! Those pyramids mostly have either triangular or rectangular bases, but did you know that there are other types of pyramids? In this tutorial, you'll see what a three-dimensional solid needs to be called a pyramid. You'll also see how to name these pyramids, so take a look!
