Volume of a Rectangular Pyramid
Volume of a rectangular pyramid is defined as the total space enclosed between all the faces of a pyramid. The volume of a pyramid is generally represented by the letter “V” and is measured in terms of cubic units like cm3, m3, ft3, in3, etc.
Formula to calculate the volume of a pyramid is equal to one-third the product of the area of the base and the height of the pyramid.
Volume of Pyramid = 1/3 × Ah cubic units
where,
- A is Area of Base
- h is Height of Pyramid
