Pyramid Volume Calculator

Find the volume of a rectangular pyramid from its base length, base width, and height.

This result is the volume of the pyramid in cubic units, which is the space enclosed by its base and height.

Formula

Pyramid volume = (base length × base width × height) ÷ 3.

How it works

Enter the base sides and the vertical height. The calculator finds the base area, multiplies by height, and divides by three.

Worked example

For example, a base length of 6, a base width of 4, and a height of 9 give (6 × 4 × 9) ÷ 3 = 72.0000 cubic units.
