Math: Pyramids Assignment - Investigating & Application

Pyramids Investigation & Application Assignment



In this assignment, we basically looked at different parts of a pyramid. Especially the slant height on their sides. We were given the formula on how to find the slant height of a pyramid when given the base and vertical height of a pyramid. We were then to find out how the equation works. The Pythagorean theorem is applied into the formula basically. Then, we looked at some Aztec Pyramids (ones with a flat top) and equations on finding the slant height of an Aztec Pyramid. This time we were asked to explain how the equation works. It also uses the Pythagorean theorem and also the properties of trapezoids. Then, we were asked to apply our knowledge of these equations to find different measurements with the other measurements of a true pyramid. Then, we were asked to make a net for a pyramid only provided with the base and the vertical height of it. In this assignment, I did pretty well - 7/8 for investigation and 7+/8 for Application.
