Regular Pyramid Calculator Calculator Usage Guide

Learn how to use the Regular Pyramid Calculator calculator and its working principles

How to Use This Calculator

  1. Enter the base length (l) of your regular pyramid (the length of one side of the square base).
  2. Enter the base width (w) - for a regular pyramid, this should be equal to the base length.
  3. Enter the height (h) of the pyramid, which is the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex.
  4. Click the "Calculate" button to compute the volume, surface area, and other parameters.
  5. Use the "Reset" button to clear all inputs and start over.

Understanding the Results

  • Volume: The amount of space enclosed by the pyramid.
  • Base Area: The area of the square base (l × w).
  • Surface Area: The total area covering the entire surface of the pyramid, including the base and the four triangular faces.
  • Slant Height: The height of each triangular face from its base to its apex.

Important Notes

This calculator assumes a regular pyramid, which has a square base and four congruent triangular faces. If your pyramid has a different base shape or non-congruent faces, the calculations would be different.

The formula used for volume is: V = (1/3) × Base Area × Height

The formula used for surface area (for a square base) is: SA = Base Area + 4 × (0.5 × Base Side × Slant Height)
