Well the formula is V=1/3Bh
B=area of the base
h=height
you have to see what shape your base is if it is a triangle you have to do 1/2bh if it is square you do side sqaured. lets say ours is a triangle and its height is 5 and its base is 7 so you do this ex.) 1/2(7)5
1/2(35)
17.5
after you get the 17.5 that is your B so that is your answer i hope this helps

A pyramid has a base and triangular sides which rise to meet at the same point. The base may be any polygon such as a square, rectangle, triangle, etc. The general formula for the volume of a pyramid is: Area of the base * Height * 1/3 The volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is equal to: Length of base * Width of base * Height * 1/3
The volume is equal to 1/3 times the base area times the height. Incidentally, that's the same formula for the pyramid.
Volume of a pyramid = 1/3*base area*height
formula of the volume of a prism = (base area)(height) formula of the volume of a pyramid = (1/3)(base area)(height) therefore, to convert the volume of a prism to that of a pyramid, just divide it by 3
Volume of a pyramid = 1/3*base area*height
