Frustum of a Pyramid Volume Calculator

Easily calculate the volume of a frustum of a pyramid with this frustum of a pyramid volume calculator. Input upper base area, lower base area, and height.

Formula

V = (h / 3) × (A1 + A2 + √(A1 × A2))

A1 = area of upper base
A2 = area of lower base
h = height of frustum

This frustum of a pyramid formula calculates volume by averaging base areas and considering height.
