Practice Questions

Answer all questions. Show your working in the grid spaces provided.
1.
Calculate the volume of a square-based pyramid with a base side of 6 cm and a height of 9 cm.
[3 marks]
2.
A pyramid has a rectangular base measuring 8 cm by 12 cm and a height of 15 cm. Find its volume.
[3 marks]
3.
Compute the volume of a pyramid with a triangular base, where the base has a base length of 10 cm, height of 8 cm, and the pyramid height is 14 cm.
[3 marks]
4.
Construct a triangle with a base of 7 cm and a height of 5 cm on the grid. Use the pyramid volume formula to find the volume if the pyramid height is 10 cm.
[4 marks]
5.
A pyramid with a base area of 20 cm² has a height of 12 cm. What is its volume?
[2 marks]
6.
A rectangular pyramid has a base of 10 cm by 14 cm and a height of 18 cm. Calculate its volume.
[3 marks]
7.
A pyramid's base area is 45 cm², and its height is 9 cm. Find the volume.
[2 marks]
8.
A pyramid has a base with an area of 36 cm² and a height of 10 cm. Calculate its volume.
[2 marks]
9.
A student calculates the volume of a pyramid as 90 cm³ but forgets to convert the base area to square centimeters. The actual base area was 15 cm² and height 12 cm. Identify and correct the mistake.
[4 marks]
10.
A pyramid has a square base with side length 5 cm and a height of 8 cm. If the height is mistakenly taken as 4 cm, what is the incorrect volume calculated? What is the correct volume?
[4 marks]
11.
