Printable practice with an answer key the engine computes, at three levels, in as many versions as you need.
Problem types
- a square pyramid’s volume: base edge 6, height 4
- a rectangular base: base 8 by 5, height 6
- the volume given, the height missing: The volume is 48. Find the height.
- the slant height labeled, not the height: base edge 6, slant height 5
- the surface area, the slant height labeled: base edge 6, slant height 5
- the surface area, the slant height worked from the height: base edge 6, height 4
- a word problem: A tent is a square pyramid. Its base is 8 feet on a side and it is 6 feet tall. How many cubic feet of space does it hold?
