Quickly calculate the volume of a pyramid using this pyramid volume calculator. Simply enter the base area and height to get an accurate result.
V = pyramid volume
A = base area
h = height of the pyramid
The pyramid volume formula multiplies the base area by height and divides by 3.
| Base Area (A) | Height (h) | Volume (V) |
|---|---|---|
| 10 | 6 | 20.000000 |
| 15 | 9 | 45.000000 |
| 20 | 12 | 80.000000 |
| 25 | 10 | 83.333333 |
| 30 | 15 | 150.000000 |
To calculate manually:
1. Find the base area (A) of the pyramid.
2. Measure the height (h) perpendicular to the base.
3. Multiply A × h.
4. Divide the result by 3 to get the pyramid volume.
This pyramid volume calculator automatically calculates the volume using the pyramid volume formula with results accurate to six decimal places. It's useful for students, engineers, and architects.
