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

V = base area x height divided by 3
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 )
The formula to find the volume of a triangular pyramid is: 1/3 (1/2 B H ) H
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
Volume=1/3 area of the base x height
