Also, let us consider the height of the whole pyramid as "H" units, the height of the truncated pyramid to be "h" units, therefore, the height of the small pyramid will be "H-h" units. Let us consider that the base of the whole pyramid is a square of side length "a" units and the base of the small pyramid at the top is a square of side length "b" units.
Let's now find the formula of the volume of a truncated pyramid. For example, it can be expressed as m 3, cm 3, in 3, etc depending upon the given units.ĭerivation of Volume of a Truncated Pyramid In the case of a truncated pyramid, both the base faces must have equal sides, therefore, a truncated pyramid with 'n' sided base faces has '2n' vertices, 'n+2' faces, and '3n' edges.
A pyramid with an 'n' sided base has 'n+1' vertices, 'n+1' faces, and '2n' edges. Pyramids are named after their bases, for example, a pyramid with a triangle base is called a triangular base, a pyramid with a square base is called a square pyramid, a pyramid with an octagonal base is called an octagonal pyramid, and so on. A pyramid may be a 'right' in which its apex is directly over the centroid over its base or else a pyramid can be 'oblique' which are basically non-right pyramids. Only the base of a pyramid is a polygon, the rest of the faces are triangles. A pyramid has an apex and only one base face whereas a truncated pyramid does not have an apex and has two base faces, one at the top and one at the bottom. Unopened three-dimensional shapes reveal many hidden secrets that can be used for different calculations.The volume of a truncated pyramid is the number of cubic units that can be held by a truncated pyramid. Let's come to the unfolding part, which is one the most demanding part. The height of a truncated pyramid is the perpendicular distance between the bases and the apothem is the height of any of its sides. The lateral faces of a truncated pyramid are trapezoids.
This one is special and mathematicians gave it a beautiful name which is, "truncated pyramid". A truncated pyramid is the result of cutting a pyramid by a plane parallel to the base and separating the part containing the apex. Yes, it will be called a pyramid but this isn't some regular pyramids that you came across. We know it looks satisfying but we want you to cut off the apex and then, the pyramid will look something like below: Imagine a pyramid, the point that makes it a perfect shape is the apex. At this point, you should know what is a pyramid, if not then we have a separate resource for the pyramid and you should first check it out.
