Square Pyramid Volume Calculator

Our square pyramid volume calculator enables calculating the volume of any square pyramid. Do you need to learn how to find the volume of a square pyramid by hand? Keep reading as we give both the formula as well as examples of how to use it.

Square pyramid volume formula

The volume of a square pyramid can be obtained with the square pyramid volume formula below:

V = 1/3 * a2h

where a is the length of the base edge and h is the height.

Example of how to calculate the volume of a square pyramid

We now have the formula to calculate the volume of a square pyramid. Let’s look at a worked example.

For a square pyramid with a base edge of 3 cm and height h of 7 cm, we can calculate the volume like so:

• V = 1/3 * a2h
• V = 1/3 * 32 * 7 = 21 cm3
