A pyramid is any three-dimensional polyhedron where the faces other than the base are triangular and converge at one point, called the apex. The formula for finding the volume of a pyramid is . There are some tutorials at the related link below that can help you figure out how to use this formula.

You calculate the volume of a pyramid by multiplying one third of the base area by the perpendicular height.1/3 Area of base x HeightDepending on what you know of the pyramid, one of these methods determines the volume.Method 1:Calculate the volume of the whole pyramid including the missing piece at the top (which is a small pyramid by itself)Calculate the volume of the small missing pyramid.Subtract the small volume of the small pyramid (step 2) from the volume of the large pyramid (step 1)Method 2:The difficulty for the above described method may be to determine the height of the pyramid in both step 1 and step 2. If you only know the height of the base till the top square, you can use the formula below to directly calculate the volume.Assume the base is a * b and the small square on top c * d, with a and c on the same side (also for b and d). The height of the pyramid (from base to small square on top) is h.We can split the top-off-pyramid in nine pieces. A block from top square to base, four pieces directly adjacent to this block and four corner pieces. This nice thing about this splitting is that we can form four new shapes from which we can easily determine the volume. The corner pieces together form a whole pyramid, 2 pieces adjacent to the block in 1 direction form a prism, as well as the other two and we have a rectangular block. I.e. we can form four new shapes of which we know the bases and the heights.The volume of a prism is 1/2 Area of triangle * length1. Assign a and b to the base sides and c and d to their corresponding top sides.2. The volume of the top-off-pyramid will be (after simplification):Volume of Block + Volume of pyramid + Volume of prism1 + Volume of prism2 =c d h+ 1/3 * h (a - c) * (b - d)+ 1/2 * h (a - c) * d+ 1/2 * h (b - d) * c--------------------------------1/3 h (a b + 1/2 a d + 1/2 b c + c d)This formula shows that when c and d are 0, we will get the original pyramid formula back.
You need to know another dimension to find the volume. The volume is the length times height times width. You can only findthe area with two dimensions... the area would be 100cm2 See below for more info on area and volume.

A math pyramid is pyramid-shaped-web in which every number on the pyramid (with the exception of the bottom row of the pyramid) is the sum of the two numbers below it.
V(3)=4/3 27 pie
Volume of prism: 8*6*10 = 480 cubic units
The answer is given below.
Well, here are a couple, at least, to get folks started! 1) The base is a square. 2) The other four faces are triangles. 3) There are the same number of faces as there are vertices (five). 4) It is a self-dual polyhedron. 5) The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 * d2 * h, where "d" is the length of one side of the square base and "h" is the perpendicular height of the pyramid. There is more, detailed information at the related link below.

how should we know, you haven't included a picture of the paper pyramid
