triangular pyramid. The alternative general formula was derived through the
Cosine Law, the formula for the area of a triangle, and the original general
formula of the volume of pyramids itself. In conducting the study, the researchers

The subjects of the study were chosen by the researchers with the use of
random sampling, in which every potential sample that could be chosen has a
determining the efficacy of the alternative general formula over the original
general formula.
A pretest was first conducted, and the result showed that the two groups
of subjects were comparable and almost similar when talking about their mental
ability. It was then followed by a discussion and a posttest with the same set of
After determining the pretest and posttest mean scores of the students,
and afterwards applying the Paired T-test for solving, the researchers concluded
that the alternative general formula in finding the volume of regular polygon-
based pyramids excluding triangular pyramid is effective, which means that there
indicates that the mathematical achievement and mastery of the students in the
