Just plug in x for the height of a pyramid with the same properties whose weight is 450 pounds. (1/2 of
900) then x will be your answer. You can use a volume equation if you know the weight/cu ft of material
and sub the volume equivalent for the weight. for instance if the weight of the material is 5 pounds per cu
ft then 90 cu ft will be the answer for the volume.

Note that an equilateral triangle is a triangle where all lengths of the sides are
equal.
If you revolve the triangle about its altitude (or the height), you'll generate a cone
(just try to imagine or draw the figure). Therefore, the height of the cone is equal
to the height of triangle, and its radius is equal to half of one side of the
equilateral triangle, which is 14/2 = 7 cm (radius).
To get the height, use pythagorean theorem:
c^2 = a^2 + b^2
where
c = hypotenuse (in this case, 14 cm)
a = height of triangle (which is also cone height)
b = base (which is also the cone radius)
Substituting,
14^2 = a^2 + 7^2
a^2 = 14^2 - 7^2
a^2 = 147
a = 7*sqrt(3)
Finally, we get the volume of cone. Recall that the volume of cone is just
V = (1/3)*(pi)*(r^2)*h
Substituting,
V = (1/3)(3.14)(7^2)(7*sqrt(3))
Now solve for V. Units in cubic centimeters.

Plane Solid Mensuration Problem.?
Situation: A vessel is in form of an inverted regular square pyramid of altitude 9.87 inches and base edge
6.27 inches The depth of the water it contains is 6 inches.
Question:

a.) How much will the surface rise when 1 pt of water is added? (1 gallon = 231 cubic inches)
b.) Find the wetted surface when the depth of the water is 9.23 in.
How do I do this step by step if the answer is:
a.) 1.6108 inches
b.) 113.57 square inches
Best Answer: a) This part is done by the difference in volume between two pyramids. You can get the
width of the water surface by using similar triangles. From this the original volume of the water in cubic
inches. Now work out the ratio of new to original volumes. The cube root of this is the scale factor by
which both height and width have increased (although it is only the height you are asked for).
b) Again, use similar triangles to find the width of the square that forms the water surface. Then use
Pythagoras rule to find the length of the line up the middle of a side. From these you can work out the
area of a side and multiply by 4.
EDIT. I also get an answer of about 1.55 inches for the first part.

Since several calculations need to be done on pyramids of various sizes you might consider appealing to
the properties of similar solids. You will know that if solids are similar with similarity ratio r, then
corresponding distances are in the ratio r, areas in the ratio r and volumes in the ratio r. If we calculate
the area/volume of the vessel we can then use similarity to do efficient calculations on other pyramids .
viz
For the vessel V = x 6.27 x 9.87 = 129.3394
Volume V when depth is 6 is given by V/129.3394 = (6/9.87) V = 29.0558
New volume when pint is added is 29.0558 + 231/8 = 57.9308
New altitude h comes from (h/6) = 57.9308/29.0558 h = 7.5517

First, we find the s/a of the vessel for which we need the altitude of a lateral .
By Pythagoras this is (9.87+3.135) = 10.3559
Lateral surface area of vessel = 4 x x 6.27 x 10.3559 = 129.8630

The lateral s/a S for h=9.23 is given by S/129.8630 = (9.23/9.87) S = 113.56

Knowing the height and base edge, s, of a square pyramid, it's volume is given by:
V = (1/3)hs
Proportionally, when the water is 6 inches deep inside the inverted pyramid, the base edge of the water, s,
is given by:
s/6.27 = 6/9.87
s = 6(6.27/9.87) = 3.81155 inches
From this, the current volume of water is:
V = (1/3)hs = (1/3)(6)(3.81155) = 29.056 in
One pint of water is 1/8 of a gallon, i.e., 231/8 = 28.875 in.
From above, the length of the base edge, s, of the new water level is given by:
s = h(6.27/9.87)
where "h" is the height of the water. Thus, the equation for the volume becomes:
V = (1/3)hs = (1/3)h[h(6.27/9.87)] = (1/3)(6.27/9.87)h
Therefore, given a new volume of 29.056 + 28.875 = 57.931 in, the height of the water, h, becomes:
V = (1/3)(6.27/9.87)h

h = 3V(9.87/6.27)
h = [3V(9.87/6.27)] = [3(57.931)(9.87/6.27)] = 7.552 in
Therefore, the surface rise is 7.552 - 6 = 1.552 inches. (Obviously, I'm not getting 1.6108 inches; I believe
my calculations are correct.)

b) (I'm assuming the "wetted surface" only includes the four surfaces of the square pyramid, and not the
surface of the water.) Given a water depth of 9.23 inches, the base edge, s, is:
s = (9.23)(6.27/9.87) = 5.8634 inches
Using the Pythagorean theorem, the slant length of the pyramid is simply:
l = [(h) + (s/2)] = [(9.23) + (5.8634/2)] = 9.6844 inches
Thus, the total area of the four wetted surfaces is:
A = 4(1/2)(5.8634)(9.6844) = 113.57 in2
Best Answer: height to base ratio: h/b = 9.87/6.27
b = 6.27h/9.87
volume of pyramid
v = bh
v = (6.27h/9.87)h
when h = 6in; v = (6.27h/9.87)h = 29.0558in
after adding a pint: 1 pt = 28.875in
v = 29.0558 + 28.875 = 57.9308in

v = (6.27/9.87)h
let rise = H
v = (6.27/9.87)(6 + H)
57.9308 = (6.27/9.87)(6 + H)
H = 1.55168
H = 1.55 in
