Pyramid
To find the volume of a pyramid, first calculate the area of the base, then multiply that area by the height of the pyramid, and finally divide by 3. This will give you the volume, indicating how much space the pyramid occupies.
Examples
When designing buildings with pyramidal roofs or structures, calculating the volume of these roofs can be essential for determining the amount of materials needed, such as shingles or roofing panels. For example, if a pyramidal roof has a square base with each side 10 meters long and the height from the base to the apex is 5 meters, the volume calculation helps estimate the material volume required.
If you have a pyramid-shaped planter in your garden, calculating its volume helps determine how much soil is needed to fill it. Suppose the planter has a square base with sides 2 meters long and a height of 1 meter; finding its volume tells you the amount of soil required.
