	A block pyramid		2005-11-05
		From Kyle: if i make a block pyramid and it puts a new perimeter around it every time, for example the first layer will be 1 block across (area=1), the second layer will be 3 blocks across (area=9), the third layer will be 5 blocks across (area=15),etc. The normal block pyramid. I have figured out that in order to figure out the number of blocks needed for a certain level, the equation is (2x-1)2 or (2x-1)(2x-1), where x is equal to the level. For example, on the fourth level, the equation tells you that it will have an area of 49. How would i make an equation for the total number of blocks up to the level. For example, in order to complete 1 level you need 1 block, for 2 levels you need 10 blocks, for three levels you need 35 blocks, and for 4 levels you need 84 blocks. Answered by Penny Nom.

I re-check my measuments and found that they were correct. Do I need to cut two pieces smaller so they can match up? Did I cut them at the wrong angles. My base is also 30cm, is that my problem?

	A 6 sided (hexagonal) pyramid		2005-01-22
		From Steve: im trying to make a 6 sided (hexagon) pyramid, from 6 triangles of 12mm plywood, i know all the angles to cut apart from the one one to join all 6 triangles together. Rough measurements are outer edge (A) of each triangle is 13cm's, length of other 2 sides (B&C) of triangle outside to center is 14cm's with a height of the whole thing together about 6cm's.

	A pyramid-shaped tank		2004-02-13
		From Annette: The base of a pyramid-shaped tank is a square with sides of length 9 feet, and the vertex of the pyramid is 12 feet above the base. The tank is filled to a depth of 4 feet, and water is flowing into the tank at a rate of 3 cubic feet per second. Find the rate of change of the depth of water in the tank. (Hint: the volume of a pyramid is V = 1/3 B h , where B is the base area and h is the height of the pyramid.) Answered by Harley Weston.

	Nets for pyramids		2002-02-14
		From Michelle: I want to have my students create nets for pyramids and I need to know how to find the correct range of degrees for the interior congruent angles of the isosceles triangular faces. For example, I know for a square-based pyramid that 77 degrees will work; however, I know other angle measures will also work. I'm just not sure how to find the minimum degree measure to have the net actually "work". I'm assuming the maximum would be 89 degrees, although that would make for a very tall pyramid.

	Building a pyramid		2000-02-26
		From Francis X. Hines Jr.: I am presently trying to build a pyramid. I can understand that the base has 90 degree angles on the first plane which is the outline of the square that makes up the floor. As close as I can figure the slope of each wall face is 35 degrees or 35.7 to be exact if I am correct by using 360 as the total of the three interior angles.Now , I run into a compound angle where the corners meet what would be the angle created by the two 35 degree angles that would allow for the 90 degree edge to continue. Because I'm working in three dimensions I also need to be sure that my math would be correct when I substract 35 from 90 to aquire the angle of the narrow edge as to allow for a 90 degree surface to be present ..to allow for another level to be added with only the base line being shortened. I hope you can understand what it is that I'm asking assistance with.I would greatly appericate your help. Answered by Chris Fisher.
