This GeoGebra worksheet demonstrates how to construct a pyramid and calculate its volume. Key mathematical concepts include pyramid structure (polygonal base, lateral edges, apex), volume formula derivation V=1/3×base area×height. Construction details: Use Pyramid command to create 3D pyramid model, Polygon for base, Point for apex O, Segment for lateral edges OA, OB, OC, OD, Intersect for edge intersections, Distance for height measurement, Volume command for direct volume calculation. Suitable for high school solid geometry teaching, helping students understand the geometric meaning of volume formula and develop spatial visualization skills.
