Find the volume of a square pyramid from its base edge and vertical height. The volume of any pyramid is one third times the base area times the height, and for a square base that means one third times the base edge squared times the height. A base edge of 6 with a height of 9 gives a volume of 108 cubic units. This calculator also computes the slant height along the middle of a triangular face and the total surface area, which adds the square base to the four triangular sides. Square pyramids describe the great pyramids, rooftops, tents and monuments. Enter the base edge and height in a matching unit and the volume returns in that unit cubed while surface area comes back in the unit squared and the slant height keeps your linear unit. All computation stays local to your browser at full precision, and the volume result copies with one click.
The volume is one third of the base area times the height, and the base area is the base edge squared.
The slant height runs from the apex down the middle of a triangular face to the base edge, used for the surface area.
It adds the square base to the four triangular faces, each based on the slant height.
Find the volume of a square pyramid from its base edge and vertical height. The volume of any pyramid is one third times the base area times the height, and for a square base that means one third times the base edge squared times the height.
