Volume_any_pyramid = 1/3 × area_base × perpendicular_height
For a triangular pyramid (tetrahedron) this becomes:
volume = 1/6 × base_width × base_height × pyramid_height
For the surface area there is no (easy) general formula: the area of the base triangle and the area of the three side triangles need to be worked out and added together.

What is the formula of square pyramid?
The formula for a square pyramid is one square attached to four triangles which meet at a point.There are other formulae for the surface area or for the volume.
How do you calculate the surface-area-to-volume-ratio?
The surface-area-to-volume ratio may be calculated as follows: -- Find the surface area of the shape. -- Find the volume of the shape. -- Divide the surface area by the volume. The quotient is the surface-area-to-volume ratio.
What is volume of a pyramid?
The volume of a pyramid with base area B and height h is:V =1/3Bh.
What is the formula for the volume of a regular pyramid?
The volume of a regular pyramid is 1/3*area of the base*hight
How do you find the surface area of an octagonal pyramid?
The formula to find the area of an octagonal pyramid is area of base plus area of sides.
