Volume of a Rectangular Pyramid Formula
Formula for finding the volume of a rectangular pyramid is discussed below in the article. As we know,
Area of Rectangle = l × w
And the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 1/3 of the product of the base and height of the rectangular pyramid. So, the volume of the rectangular pyramid (V)= 1/3 (l × w) h cubic units
Volume of Rectangular Pyramid (V) = (1/3) × lwh cubic units
where,
- l is Length of Rectangle Base
- w is Width of Rectangle Base
- h is Height of Pyramid
Volume of a Rectangular Pyramid
Rectangular pyramid is a three-dimensional object that has a rectangular base upon which are erected four triangular faces that meet at a common point called the apex. It has a total of five faces, i.e., a rectangular base, four triangular faces, five vertices, and eight edges. In a rectangular pyramid, all the triangular faces are congruent to the opposite face.
Volume of the rectangular pyramid is the space occupied by the rectangular pyramid and its formula is covered in this article.
