jhzadeh@daltonstate.eduIntroduction
I have taught a geometry course for teachers at a Christian college and a State college in the past few years.
Topics covered in this course include measurement, transformation geometry, plane and space figures,
problem solving in geometry, methods and materials for teaching geometry [7]. The relationship between the formulas for volumes of solids has always been difficult for somestudents who took the above course. For example, it was difficult for them to see that the volume of a
pyramid is one third of the volume of a prism with equal base and height. They had to either memorize this
relationship or be able to see this relationship by actually visualizing three pyramids fitting in the prism of
the same base and height. The visualization was difficult for them, and I designed a series of methods for
dividing prisms into pyramids [9] to help them see the relationship between their volumes. Then we
extended our division methods to truncated square pyramids. The Geometer's Sketchpad was used in these
exercises. In this paper I describe the various sectioning methods we used to see the relationship between the volumes of polygonal pyramids with volumes of polygonal prisms and truncated pyramids. The studentsrealized that prisms and truncated pyramids can be divided into polygonal pyramids; the same way that
polygons can be divided into triangles. Pyramids are made of triangular lateral faces and a polygonal base
that can be divided into triangles. Therefore, pyramids play the same role in three-dimensional geometry
that triangles do in the plane. These methods present practical exercises for better understanding polygonal
space figures. Specifically, students divided some polygonal prisms and a truncated square pyramid into
polygonal pyramids and proved that the volumes of the resulting pyramids add up to the volume of theoriginal solids, a tedious but worthwhile exercise. Showing that the sum of the volumes of the resulting
pyramids equals the volume of the original solid requires algebraic and sometimes trigonometric
computations. The students were faced with problem-solving situations that they had created by dividing
prisms and truncated pyramids into pyramids and were challenged to find their volumes and realize that the
sectioning methods were valid procedures.I believe that space figures, volumes and surface areas are difficult topics for teachers to teach. This
may be due to the fact that students have difficulty with the properties of triangle and other geometrical
figures in the plane and when it comes to three dimensions they find them more difficult. When prospective
teachers who take a course in geometry actually divide a prism or truncated pyramid into pyramids using the
Geometer's Sketchpad and when they calculate volumes of the resulting pyramids and see that their sum
European International Journal of Science and Technology Vol. 3 No. 3 April, 2014
89equals the volume of the original solids their visualization of three dimensions would be increased. They
can share these exercises with their students and teach them visualization. The content of this paper can be
useful in helping their students to overcome some of their difficulties as far as the three dimensional objects
are concerned.Proofs in Geometry
Most proofs in geometry require us to show that line segments are congruent or angles are congruent.In order to do this we must identify two congruent triangles and show that the line segments or the angles
are the corresponding parts of these congruent triangles. To identify the congruent triangles, occasionally
we must draw auxiliary segments to form triangles. All this process has to be done visually as we set pencil
on paper and make drawings. The visualization or imagination of the situation should precede any
verbalization and drawing for the proof.As in any learning activity, visualization has to be taught and geometry and three dimensional figures
are rich areas for practicing visualization. The simple methods of dividing prisms into pyramids given in
this paper provide students with problem-solving situations and practicing three-dimensional visualization.
Polygons into Triangles
We can divide any polygon into triangles in many ways. For example: (1) Join any vertex of a polygon to other vertices. Figure 1(a) (2) Join any interior point of a polygon to the vertices. Figure 1(b)In the first method the number of triangles will be n ─ 2 with n > 3 sides. In the second method the
number of triangles will be n, the number of sides of the polygon. (a) (b)Figure 1
Cubes into Pyramids
Let us generalize the above methods of dividing polygons to a cube of base length B. By the firstmethod, the cube can be divided into three identical oblique pyramids of base length B by joining a vertex to
all the other vertices. See Figure 2(a).European International Journal of Science and Technology ISSN: 2304-9693 www.eijst.org.uk
90BB B/2 (a) (b)
Figure 2
The volume of the cube with side B is
B3. Therefore, the volume of each square pyramid in Figure2(a) is
1 33B. In Figure 2(b), for simplicity, we have joined the center of the cube to each vertex and each
pyramid formed on each face has volume 1 6 3B.Square Prisms into Pyramids
The relationship between the volume of a square prism (cuboid, or rectangular parallelepiped) andsquare pyramid of the same height is demonstrated by filling a plastic model of the pyramid with water or
sand and emptying it into the plastic model of the prism, [Posamentier/Smith/Stepelman 2006, p. 95]. The
student will see that each time one-third of the prism is filled, and to fill the prism we must repeat this
process three times. Therefore, 2 3 1hBV pyramid=, (1) where,2hBVprism=, and the factor1
3 for the volume of pyramid will be remembered. See Figure 3.

We notice that as in the case of the cube, a pyramid is formed on the lower base, and the upper baseis divided into two congruent triangles and each of these triangles is a face of one of the other two pyramids.
Method 2
Another way to divide the right square prism into oblique pyramids so that two of the pyramids have square bases is shown in Figure 5, below. B B B B h B B h h (a) (b) h B B (c) (d)Figure 5
In Figure 5, the two triangular pyramids of vertical heights B, Figure 5(c), are formed inside the prism when we cut the two square pyramids, Figure 5(b) (with basesB2and heights h and each of
volume 1 32hB). We can put the two triangular pyramids together to form a rectangular pyramid, Figure 5(d)
as shown and its volume is 1 3 2B h. To see the two triangular pyramids that are formed inside the prism, paper models of the pyramidswere made and put together as in Photo 1. One student remarked that we could make a model of the square
prism with play-doh, then cut the square pyramids and see the two triangular pyramids which will be left.

93Method 3
We can join an interior point of the square right prism to all its vertices and divide it into six
pyramids, one on each face. See Figure 6. This is a generalization of the polygonal division into triangles,
Figure 1(b).
h B B h/2 OFigure 6
In Figure 6, we have joined the midpoint of the altitude to all vertices to simplify the computation of
the volumes of the six pyramids that are formed. One rectangular pyramid is formed on each face; and there
are four of them, and each has volume 1 6 1 62BBh hB=. The other two pyramids have square bases and each
has a volume of 1 62hB. Their sum will be 616

and vertical height h.Pentagonal Right Prism
Next, let us consider a regular pentagonal prism of base side length s and height h whose volume is:V has=5
2, (2)
Where, h is the height of the prism, s is the base side length, and a is the apothem of the pentagonal base in
Figure 7. In dividing the polygonal prisms into pyramids regularity is not necessary, and we are assuming
that the base is a regular pentagon to simplify computation of the area of the base and hence the volume
formula (2)Method 1
We can divide a pentagonal prism into polygonal pyramids by joining any point of the altitude, forexample, the mid point of the altitude to the vertices of the lower base and the vertices of the upper base, as
in Figure 7. This is again a generalization of dividing a polygon into triangles Figure 1(b). We describe this
method first because trigonometry can be avoided in computations of the volumes.European International Journal of Science and Technology ISSN: 2304-9693 www.eijst.org.uk

Figure 7
Consequently, the above pentagonal prism is divided into two pentagonal pyramids with heights h2, and five
rectangular pyramids with base lengths s and h and heights the apothem a of the pentagon; a total of seven
pyramids, altogether. In a polygonal prism with n base sides, this method results in n + 2 pyramids The two pentagonal pyramids and the five rectangular pyramids are shown in Figure 7, above. We will show that the volumes of these seven pyramids add up to the volume of the prism, formula (2).Let us denote the area of each pentagonal base by
A1, the area of each lateral face byA2, the volume of each of the pentagonal pyramids with height h2, byV1, and the volume of each of the rectangular pyramids
with base areaA2, base sides s, h, and height a, by V2.

95Method 2
We can also divide the pentagonal prism by joining a vertex of one of the bases to all other vertices,
as seen in Figure 8, below. We note that this is a generalization of dividing a polygon into triangles by
joining a vertex to all other vertices Figure 1(a). There are four pyramids in figure 8. One is pentagonal with base ABCDE, the lower base of theprism and vertical height h, the height of the prism, and the other three are rectangular pyramids with bases,
BCC'B', ABB'A' and AEE'A' all with base sides s and h. Each of the rectangular pyramids has a face that
is one of the triangles that the upper pentagonal base of the prism is divided into, a generalization of the
remark made in the case of the square prism. It remains to show that the volumes of these four pyramids
add up to the volume of the pentagonal prism. First, we express a and s in terms of r. Where, r is the radius
of the circumscribed circle of the pentagonal base. See Figure 7. a r sr cos sin 36236
o o (3) It is necessary to use trigonometry since the rectangular pyramids have vertical heights that depend
on the sine of the exterior angle of the triangular face. In the following, to simplify computations, besides
formula (3) we also use the double-angle formula for sine, sinsincos7223636o o o= (4) s A' E' E D' D C' C B' B AFigure 8

We now consider a truncated square pyramid (frustum) of lower base length B, upper base length band vertical height h. See Figure 9, below. We note that a truncated square pyramid is not a prism, since the
parallel bases are not congruent. However, our division procedures demonstrated above can be applied in
this case because the volume formula for the truncated pyramid is the sum of volumes of pyramids. The
formula is: )(3122bBbBhV++=. (5)

98Method 1
As in the cases of a cube, square, and pentagonal prisms, we can divide the truncated square pyramidby joining a vertex of a base to all other vertices as shown in Figure 10, below. This again is a
generalization of dividing a polygon into triangles by joining a vertex to all other vertices, Figure 1(a).
