I am not sure how it was originally obtained. In some math book I saw how a specific triangular prism could be divided into three congruent pyramids.
The formulat for the volume of a pyramid, or of a cone for that matter, can be obtained quite easily with calculus. The basic idea is to divide the pyramid into thin slices, and calculate the area of each (assuming that each slice is a rectangular block). You might do an approximation in Excel. The thinner the individual slices, the more accurate the result. (Calculus uses more advanced methods, to get the result quicker.)

The formula for finding the volume for a triangular pyramid is half base x height x length. A triangular pyramid has four faces.
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
The answer depends on the what characteristic of the pyramid you want the formula for: its surface area, its volume or something else.
Volume of a pyramid in cubic units: 1/3*base area*height
The formula for a pyramid. The volume of a pyramid is (1/3)(B)(h). The volume of a cone is essentially the same: (1/3)(B=πr2)(h)
The volume of a regular pyramid is 1/3*area of the base*hight

The relationship between the formulas is that in all the radius is cubed.
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*base area*perpendicular height
Volume = 1/3*base area*height
Volume of a pyramid in cubic units: 1/3*base area*height
