Volume of square based pyramids

The volume of a square based pyramid works on area of the base multiplied by height and some factor.

To measure a square based pyramid you need to multiply base and height then multiply another factor

Base area of square based pyramid = Length×width

Volume of a square based pyramid = 13×area of base ×height

Volume of a square based pyramid = 13×length×width×height

3 pyramids make the same area of a cube

3 square based pyramids fill 1 cube (with the same size base and height).

 

NOTE:

Areas shaded blue are all equal.
