Volume of a Square Pyramid Formula
A square pyramid is a type of pyramid with a square-shaped base and 4 triangular faces which meet each other at a vertex. The volume of this pyramid can be found using the formula given below.
The Volume of a Square Pyramid Formula is = \(\begin{array}{l}\frac{1}{3}\end{array} \)\(\begin{array}{l}a^{2}\end{array} \)h
Where,
a is the base length of the square base of the square pyramid.
h is the height of the square pyramid.
a is the base length of the square base of the square pyramid.
h is the height of the square pyramid.
