Square Right Pyramid Volume (height = base) Visually! @MathVisualProofs

Uploaded July 2026 | Updated September 2026, 2 weeks ago

This is a short, animated visual proof showing how to find the volume of a square right pyramid with height equal to the base length. This is my take on a classic visualization that uses Cavalieri's principle and then rotates three copies to form a cube. I could not find an original source for this visual, but you can find others related and you can find more information on Wikipedia:

Square Right Pyramid Volume (height = base) Visually!

$Simpsons Paradox (Visual Proof) In this short video, we show how to think about Simpsons paradox visually in terms of vector arithmetic. In particular we show that ratios can be represented by slopes of lines (or slopes of vectors) and then we can have an interesting slope reversal when adding as you would add proportions or statistics (not usual fraction arithmetic).

The visual proof in this video is based on a proof without words by Jerzy Kocik from the December 2001 issue of Mathematics Magazine ( https://www.jstor.org/stable/2691038 page 399). #mathshorts #mathvideo #math #statistics #mtbos #manim #animation #theorem #pww #proofwithoutwords #visualproof #proof #iteachmath #paradox #simpsonsparadox #simpson #derekjeter #davidjustice #baseball #proportion #vectors #vectoraddition #battingaverage #data To learn more about animating with manim, check out: https://manim.community$

$Adding Fractions Visually This is a short animation showing how to think visually about adding fractions. We show the process only for 2/7+1/5 but a similar idea works for adding any pair of fractions. To buy me a coffee, head over to https://www.buymeacoffee.com/VisualProofs Thanks! This is a standard technique for visualizing fraction addition. #mathshorts #mathvideo #math #fractions #mtbos #manim #animation #theorem #pww #proofwithoutwords #visualproof #proof #iteachmath #mathematics #area #visualfractions #addfractions #fractionarithmetic #arithmetic To learn more about animating with manim, check out: https://manim.community$
