What is a Triangular Pyramid?
A pyramid is a [three-dimensional solid object] polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and to a point, called the apex.
How to calculate the Volume of a Triangular Pyramid
Note that the volume of a Triangular pyramid is calculated differently to that of a Square Pyramid. Use the volume of a Square Pyramid calculator for appropriate volume calculations.
You can calculate the volume of a triangular pyramid using the Triangular Pyramid Volume Calculator by following the steps below:
- Enter Base triangle (the triangle on the bottom) height
- Enter Base triangle base width (base is bottom if stood up)
- Enter the height of the pyramid and click calculate
Formula for calculating the Volume of a Triangular Pyramid
The Volume of a Triangular Pyramid is calculated using the following equations:
Volume a Triangular Pyramid formula (when the base triangle area is not known)
V = b1 × h1 × h/6Volume a Triangular Pyramid formula (when the base triangle area is known)
V = A ×h/3Area of the base triangle in a Triangular Pyramid formula
A = b1 ×h1/2Note: Remember to use the same measurement unit for each dimension when calculating the volume of an object.
The volume of solid objects are measured in:
- cubic feet
- cubic meters
- cubic yards
The volume of liquids are measured in:
- litres
- quarts
- pints
- gallons
