A pyramid is a polyhedron with one base that is any polygon. The volume of a 3 -dimensional solid is the amount of space it occupies. Here is how to find the volume of a rectangular pyramid.
The volume V of a pyramid is one-third the area of the base times the height h.
Steps
- Find the length and width of the base.
For Example: l = 4cm, w = 3cm - Multiply the length and width to find the area of the base.
- Multiply the area of the base by the height.
For Example, - Multiply your result so far by 1/3.
