If you have the area of the base and vertical height, then volume = 1/3*base area*height.

If you do not have the vertical height you may be able to calculate it if you have the slant height and the base is a well behaved polygon.

If neither, but the pyramid is made of insoluble material that is non-absorbent, you should be able to calculate its volume by measuring the volume of liquid that it displaces when it is submerged.
