About this lesson
This is another video in the Year 11 General Maths (Units 1 and 2) course dealing with measurement and similarity. I take a short amount of time looking at how to find the volume of a pyramid (and telling you how many people die by camels each year!). Using a "simple" formula, we can find the volume of pyramids really easily. We just need to know the area of the base (and pyramids can have different shaped bases). I use worked examples and theory which is designed to just makes sense.
