Pyramid Volume Calculator
Calculate pyramid volume from base area and perpendicular height.
How to use
- Enter the base area.
- Enter perpendicular height from base plane to apex and calculate.
Capabilities and scope
The base shape is not recalculated; you provide its already-known area.
How it works
It uses V = baseArea × height / 3.
Example
Base area 30 and height 9 give volume 90.
Useful for
- Use one formula for triangular or polygonal pyramids
- Compute volume from a base area obtained from CAD or surveying
Before you use it
- The first input is an area, not a single base-side length.
Frequently asked questions
Does the base shape matter?
The one-third relation applies to pyramids with a planar base and apex; only the base area is needed.
