Pyramid Volume Calculator

    Calculate pyramid volume from base area and perpendicular height, with square, rectangular, triangular, and regular-polygon base options.

    Volume uses the selected base area and perpendicular height. Surface area is shown only when the base model defines it unambiguously.

    Pyramid volume from base area and height

    English search intent expects a right-pyramid workflow: pick a base shape, enter the base dimensions, then use perpendicular height for volume. The calculator supports square, rectangular, equilateral-triangle, and regular-polygon bases.

    B is base area and h is perpendicular height.

    Use perpendicular height, not slant height, for volume. Slant height is mainly needed for lateral area.

    Base shape support

    BaseUseful output
    Square baseVolume plus supported lateral and total surface area.
    Rectangular baseVolume and base area; lateral area depends on apex position.
    Equilateral triangle baseVolume from side length and height.
    Regular polygon baseVolume from side length, side count, and height.
