What is the surface area and volume of a triangular-based pyramid?
Wiki User
∙ 7y ago
Volume_any_pyramid = 1/3 × area_base × perpendicular_height
For a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) this becomes:
volume = 1/6 × base_width × base_height × pyramid_height
For the surface area there is no (easy) general formula: the area of the base triangle and the area of the three side triangles need to be worked out and added together.

What is the formula of square pyramid?
The formula for a square pyramid is one square attached to four triangles which meet at a point.There are other formulae for the surface area or for the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
What is the formula for the volume of a regular pyramid?
The volume of a regular pyramid is 1/3*area of the base*hight
What is volume of a pyramid?
The volume of a pyramid with base area B and height h is:V =1/3Bh.
How do you find the surface area of an octagonal pyramid?
The formula to find the area of an octagonal pyramid is area of base plus area of sides.
What happens to the Surface Area and Volume of a pyramid if the radius and height are divided by 2?
The surface area is reduced by a factor 4, the volume by a factor 8.
What is the formula for a tiangular pyramid?
The volume of a triangular pyramid can be found using the formula Volume=Base Area x height /3. Surface Area can be expressed as Surface Area =Base Area+0.5 x perimeter x side length.
What is formula of a rectangle based pyramid?
The answer depends on the what characteristic of the pyramid you want the formula for: its surface area, its volume or something else.
What is the formula to find the area of pyramid?
It has to do with the surface area formula: To find the total surface area of a pyramid, use this equation: Surface Area = B + 1/2 * P * s B = base area P = perimeter of the base s = slant height To find the volume of a Pyramid, substitute into this equation: V=1/3Bh B=base area h=height of pyramid
How can you obtain a cell's ratio of surface area to volume?
To obtain the ratio of surface area to volume, divide the surface area by the volume.
How is a rectangular pyramid and a rectangular prisims alike?

What is the area of a pyramid?
(This is a pyramid with a triangle base)The surface area is: b + 1/2 * p * sb = area of the basep = perimeter of the bases = length of slant sideTo find the volume of a Pyramid:v = 1/3 * b * h b = area of the baseh = height of pyramid
How are a triangular prism and triangular pyramid volume formulas alike and different?
The answer will depend on what aspect the formula is for: the surface area or the volume being the most obvious options.
Does volume surface area have cm square?
Volume does not, surface area does.
