This example demonstrates the calculation of a pyramid's volume. Key mathematical concepts include the volume formula for a pyramid in solid geometry. Using GeoGebra commands such as Dilate (dilate), Vector (vector), Polygon (polygon), etc., the construction process of the pyramid is dynamically shown. Suitable for students at the junior high school level and above.
