Frequently Asked Questions

Common questions about the free online pyramid calculator.

Enter the base edge and the height. The tool multiplies the base area by the height and then divides the result by three.
Volume is one third of the base area multiplied by the height, so V = base area x height / 3 for any pyramid.
The slant height is the square root of the height squared plus the apothem of the base polygon squared.
No. Choose three, four, five, six or eight sides and the tool builds the matching regular polygon base for you.
Lateral area covers only the triangular faces. Add the base polygon area to the lateral area to get the total surface area.
