Pyramid Volume Calculator

Enter the base area and height to find the volume of a pyramid using V equals one third times base area times height. Works for any pyramid.

Input

Enter the base area and height to calculate the volume of a pyramid. It works for any pyramid, such as triangular or square pyramids.

Result

h = 9S = 12

Volume V

36

Base area S

12

Height h

9

The volume is found from volume equals one third times base area times height.

Keep the length units consistent so the volume comes out in the matching cubic units.

How it works

  • The volume of a pyramid equals one third times base area times height.
  • The base area is the area of the base, and the height is the perpendicular distance from the apex to the base.
  • The same formula works for any pyramid regardless of the base shape, including triangular, square, and hexagonal pyramids.
  • Keep the length units consistent so the volume comes out in the matching cubic units, for example cubic centimeters when the base area is in square centimeters and the height is in centimeters.
