Triangular Pyramid Volume Calculator
triangular pyramid volume. Example: Base: 2 m, Base altitude: 2 m, Pyramid height: 2 m gives 1.33333333333 m³. Base altitude lies within base plane and is perpendicular to chosen base edge. Pyramid height is perpendicular to base plane. Flat Euclidean geometry in the stated units. No waste, thickness, structural advice or curved-earth inference.

Base altitude lies within base plane and is perpendicular to chosen base edge. Pyramid height is perpendicular to base plane. Flat Euclidean geometry in the stated units. No waste, thickness, structural advice or curved-earth inference. Only the stated forward job is supported; display rounding does not change the calculation. Derivation: Triangle base area is base×altitude/2; pyramid volume is area×height/3.
Accepted inputs: Base: 0.001 to 1,000 m; Base altitude: 0.001 to 1,000 m; Pyramid height: 0.001 to 1,000 m.
How the calculation works
V = base ×base altitude ×pyramid height /6
Worked example
With base 2 m, base altitude 2 m, pyramid height 2 m, triangular pyramid volume is 1.333333333 m³.
Assumptions and limits
Base altitude lies within base plane and is perpendicular to chosen base edge. Pyramid height is perpendicular to base plane. Flat Euclidean geometry in the stated units. No waste, thickness, structural advice or curved-earth inference. Only the stated forward job is supported; display rounding does not change the calculation. Derivation: Triangle base area is base×altitude/2; pyramid volume is area×height/3.
