Formula for calculating the volume of pyramids
The volume of a pyramid is  =   . ,
where is the area of the base of the pyramid and are the pyramid's height.

Solved problems on volume of pyramids
Lesson Volume of pyramids
- Find the volume of a regular pyramid with the square base if the height of the pyramid is of 12 cm and the measure of the
base edge is of 10 cm.
- Find the volume of a regular pyramid with the square base if the lateral edge of the pyramid has the same measure of 12 cm
as the base edge has. Also find the angle between the lateral edge and the base plane of the pyramid.

|
- Find the volume of a regular hexagonal pyramid if its base edge is of 4 cm and the height of the pyramid is of 6 cm.
- Find the volume of a regular tetrahedron if all its edges are of 10 cm long.
|
|
|
- Find the volume of a composite solid body of a "diamond" shape which comprises of two regular tetrahedrons joined face
to face, if all their edges are of 4 cm long.
- Find the volume of a body obtained from the regular tetrahedron with the edge measures of 10 cm after cutting
off the part of the tetrahedron by the plane parallel to one of its faces in a way that the cutting plane bisects the three edges
of the original tetrahedron (truncated regular tetrahedron).

Lesson Solved problems on volume of pyramids
- Find the volume of a triangular pyramid ABCD if its edges issued from the vertex A are of 8 cm, 6 cm and 6 cm long
and each of these three edges is perpendicular to the two others.
- Find the volume of a rectangular pyramid ABCDE if its base ABCD is a square with the side measure of 6 cm and the
lateral edge AE is perpendicular to the base plane and has the measure of 8 cm.

- Find the volume of a regular pyramid with the square base if the lateral edge of the pyramid has the same measure of 10 cm
as the the base edge has. Also find the angle between the lateral edge and the base of the pyramid.
- Find the volume of a regular hexagonal pyramid if the base edge has the measure of 4 cm and the lateral edge of the pyramid
is of 8 cm long. Also find the angle between the lateral edge and the base plane of the pyramid.

- Find the volume of a composite solid body of a "diamond" shape which comprises of two regular rectangular pyramids with
square bases joined base to base, if all their edges are of 4 cm.
- Find the volume of a body obtained from a regular rectangular pyramid with the edge measures of 10 cm for all
edges after cutting off the part of the pyramid by the plane parallel to the base in a way that the cutting plane bisects the
four lateral edges of the original pyramid (truncated regular rectangular pyramid).
