Here is the problem: Find the volume and surface area of a square pyramid with base side 6 and height 4.

2
00:00:06.975 --> 00:00:14.440
Compute the volume (cubic units) and total surface area (square units) of the solid from its dimensions in one length unit.

3
00:00:15.240 --> 00:00:18.444
Volume: one third of base area times height.

4
00:00:18.894 --> 00:00:21.669
Slant height of each triangular face.

5
00:00:22.119 --> 00:00:25.416
Surface area: base plus four triangles.

6
00:00:26.216 --> 00:00:33.205
So the answer is Volume equals 48 cubic units; surface area equals 96 square units.

7
00:00:33.655 --> 00:00:45.010
Volume counts unit cubes inside a solid; surface area counts unit squares needed to wrap it. Doubling every length multiplies volume by 8 and surface area by 4.

8
00:00:45.810 --> 00:00:49.815
Volume 48 and surface area 96 are positive.
