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

What is an algorithm to solve the volume of a cone?

The volume is equal to 1/3 times the base area times the height. Incidentally, that's the same formula for the pyramid.


using egyptian geometry, how the volume of a truncated pyramid is solve explain?

The formula for the volume of a truncated square pyramid with height h, and top edge a cm and bottom edge b cm is V = 1/3*(a2 + ab + b2)*h.


How do you solve a pyramid only knowing the volume and altitude?

You require a lot more information before the question can be answered. First, you do not solve a pyramid. A pyramid is a 3-dimensional shape - it is there. You do not solve it. You can Solve for its surface area, or its base area or its height or something. But the question does not say what you are trying to solve for. Second. You do not specify whether it is a triangular pyramid, a quadrilateral one, pentagonal or so on. If the question were about the base area, that would not matter, but if it is about anything else, that piece of information is critical. So I suggest you think about what information you do have and what you want to find out and then resubmit a sensible question that someone can answer.


How do you get the volume of a square pyramid and a triangular pyramid?

The volume for any pyramid = 1/3*base area*perpendicular height


What is the height of a square pyramid that has a volume of 3600cm and its sides are 90cm?

No pyramid can have a volume of 3600 cm since that is a measure of distance: volume is measured in cubic units.No pyramid can have a volume of 3600 cm since that is a measure of distance: volume is measured in cubic units.No pyramid can have a volume of 3600 cm since that is a measure of distance: volume is measured in cubic units.No pyramid can have a volume of 3600 cm since that is a measure of distance: volume is measured in cubic units.
