MA.7.G.2.1 Justify and apply formulas for… volume of pyramids…and cones.
Also MA.7.G.2.2

5. Suppose you have a square-pyramid-shaped container and a square-prism-shaped container, and the bases and heights are the same size. If you pour sand from the pyramid into the prism, it appears that the prism holds three times as much sand as the pyramid.

6. In fact, the volume of a pyramid is exactly one- third the volume of a prism with the same height and a congruent base.
The height of a pyramid is the perpendicular distance from the pyramid’s base to the vertex opposite the base.
