Pyramid Volume Calculator

Quickly calculate the volume of a pyramid using this pyramid volume calculator. Simply enter the base area and height to get an accurate result.

Formula

V = (1/3) × A × h

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.

How To Calculate Pyramid Volume Without A Calculator

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.
