Understanding Pyramid Volume
A pyramid is a polyhedron formed by connecting a polygonal base and a point, called the apex. The volume of a pyramid is the space it occupies in three-dimensional space. It's calculated using a simple formula that relates the area of its base and its height.
The formula for the volume \( V \) of a pyramid is given by:
$$ V = \frac{1}{3} \times B \times h $$
- \( V \) is the volume of the pyramid.
- \( B \) is the area of the base.
- \( h \) is the height of the pyramid, measured perpendicularly from the base to the apex.
This calculator simplifies the process of finding the volume by just requiring the base area and height as inputs. Use it to quickly and accurately determine the volume for various pyramid dimensions.
