About Pyramid Volume

The volume of a pyramid is calculated using the formula:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height} \]

For a rectangular base pyramid:

• Base Area = Length (\( L \)) × Width (\( W \))
• Volume = \( \frac{1}{3} \times L \times W \times H \), where \( H \) is the height.

Example: For a pyramid with base length \( 4 \) units, width \( 3 \) units, and height \( 5 \) units, the base area is \( 4 \times 3 = 12 \), and the volume is \( \frac{1}{3} \times 12 \times 5 = 20 \) cubic units.
