Pyramid Volume Formula & Calculator

The volume of a pyramid can be calculated using the following formulas: One ff you know the area of the base and height, second, if you know the base value and the height.

Formula Knowing the Base Area and Height.

If you know the base area and the height of a pyramid, you can calculate its volume using the following formula:

Pyramid Volume

$$V= (A_b*h)/3$$

Base Area and Height Values

Volume Result


Where:

$$V = "volume"$$
$$A_b = "base area"$$
$$h = "height value"$$

Formula Knowing the Base and Height.

If you know the base value and the height of a pyramid, you can calculate its volume using the same formula, in this case we use the base value to calculate first the base area and then the pyramid volume:

Pyramid Volume

$$V= (A_b*h)/3$$

Base and Height Values

Volume Result


Where:

$$V = "volume"$$
$$A_b = "base value"$$
$$h = "height value"$$

Pyramid Definition

It is a geometric figure with a square base and a four slope sides pointing together in the top. The angles in the pyramid will change depending the size of the base and how tall is it.

Volume Definition

Is the space that occupies an object in space, is delimited by the walls of the object, can be regular or irregular.

Formula Definition

It is a representation of a rule or a general principle using letters. (Algebra, A. Baldor)
When describing formulas in plural, it is also valid to say "formulae".
