Volume of a Pyramid Calculator
🧊 Volume & surface area (3D). Use the Volume of a pyramid formula to find volume, base area, height: pick the value you want, type the others, and the answer updates as you go.
A = the area of the base.
Volume80 cm³
Pick the ○ next to the value you want to find, fill in the others, and it solves as you type.
What each letter means
| Quantity | Unit |
|---|---|
| Volume | cm³ |
| Base area | cm² |
| Height | cm |
Worked example
Find the volume when Base area = 24 cm², Height = 10 cm.
Using V = 1/3 A h: Volume = 80 cm³.
Frequently asked questions
What is the formula for Volume of a pyramid?
V = 1/3 A h. A = the area of the base.
What do the letters stand for, and what units are used?
Volume in cm³, Base area in cm², Height in cm.
How do you calculate volume?
Put the values into V = 1/3 A h. For example, with Base area = 24 cm², Height = 10 cm, volume = 80 cm³.
Can I solve for a different value?
