One-third times the area of the base times the height:

1/3 x (LW) x h

In the case of a square pyramid, the length and width of the base are the same, so you could rewrite the formula as:

1/3 x s2 x h

where s = the length of one side of the base

What is the formula for finding the volume of a square pyramid?

This is too general. The following equation is for the volume of a square pyramid, where v= volume, l= length of the base, w= width of the base, and h= height of the pyramid: v=(1/3)*l*w*h In other words, volume=(one divided by three) times length times width times height Volume is measured in "cubic" units. The volume of a figure is the number of cubes required to fill it completely, like blocks in a box. Sorry, but this answer is incorrect. the formula given is that of which for a rectangular pyramid. (learned this today in math )


If the volume of this regular pyramid is 300 ft cu-bid what is the length of one of the sides of its square base?

To find the length of one side of the square base of a regular pyramid with a volume of 300 cubic feet, we use the formula for the volume of a pyramid: ( V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} ). Assuming the base is a square, the base area is ( s^2 ) (where ( s ) is the side length). However, without the height of the pyramid, we cannot directly calculate ( s ). If the height were known, we could rearrange the formula to solve for ( s ).

What is volume of rectangle pyramid of base 12m5m and height 9m?

Formula for volume of pyramid is 1/3*base area*height Formula for area of rectangle (in this case the base) is length*breadth So, the volume of the pyramid is 1/3*12*5*9=180m3
