Pyramid Calculator
Calculate volume and lateral surface area of a square pyramid from base and height.
Formula
V = (1/3)b²h, l = √(h²+(b/2)²), SA = b²+2b×l
Volume is one-third base squared times height. Slant height l from apex to base edge mid-point. SA includes the square base plus 4 triangular faces.
Examples
b=6, h=8
b=4, h=3
b=10, h=12
Frequently Asked Questions
What is the volume formula for a square pyramid?
V = (1/3) × base² × height.
How do I find the lateral surface area of a pyramid?
SA = b² + 2b × l, where l = √(h² + (b/2)²) is the slant height.
