Volume of a Pyramid


The volume, V, of a pyramid in cubic units is given by



where A is the area of the base and h is the height of
the pyramid.


/***************************/
Since we have a pyramid with a base of 6 ft by 5 ft,
6 * 5 = 30 sq ft, so A = 30
The height = 8 ft, so h = 8
/***************************/
Our formula now reads

After doing the math, we see that V = 80 & bob's your uncle!
