Volume of Triangular Pyramid Calculator

Use this calculator to find the volume of any triangular pyramid. It can compute the base area and volume even if you only know side lengths or other measurements.

You can calculate the volume for different types of triangular pyramids:

  • Equilateral triangles
  • Isosceles triangles (using base length and height from base to apex)
  • Scalene triangles (using all three side lengths)
  • Right triangular pyramids (special case with 90-degree apex angle)

Triangular Pyramid

A triangular pyramid is a 3-dimensional solid with four triangular faces.

Triangular Pyramid

It has a flat triangular base (equilateral, isosceles, or scalene) and four triangular faces meeting at a point called the apex. If all faces are equilateral triangles, it is called a tetrahedron.

Parts of a Triangular Pyramid

  • 4 faces, 6 edges, 4 vertices
  • At each vertex, 3 edges meet
  • No parallel faces
  • Symmetry depends on the type of pyramid
  • Can be regular (all faces congruent), irregular, or right-angled

Volume of a Triangular Pyramid

The volume measures the space enclosed by the pyramid.

Common units: m3, cm3, in3, etc.

How to Find the Volume

1. Using the Formula

Volume Formula:

V = (1/3) × Base Area × Height

  • V = volume of the pyramid
  • Base Area = area of the triangular base
  • Height = perpendicular distance from the base to the apex

Example 1:

Triangular pyramid with base area = 25 cm² and height = 10 cm.

Solution:

V = (1/3) × 25 × 10 = 83.33 cm³

2. If Base Area Is Unknown

  • Equilateral Triangle: Base Area = (√3 / 4) × (side length)²
  • Isosceles Triangle: Base Area = 1/2 × base length × height from base to apex
  • Scalene Triangle: Base Area = √[s(s-a)(s-b)(s-c)], where s = (a+b+c)/2 and a, b, c are side lengths

Example 2:

Triangular pyramid with height H = 12 cm and base side length = 7 cm, base height = 12 cm.

Base Area:

Base Area = (7 × 12) / 2 = 42 cm²

Volume:

V = (1/3) × 42 × 12 = 168 cm³

Note: Always use consistent units (cm, m, in, etc.) for accurate results.

3. Using an Online Calculator

The easiest way to compute volume is by using a triangular pyramid volume calculator. Steps:

  • Choose whether the pyramid’s base is known or unknown
  • Enter the relevant values
  • Click “Calculate” to get the volume and base area (if unknown)

FAQs

Volume of a Regular Triangular Pyramid (Tetrahedron)

V = (a³ × √2) / 12

a = edge length of the equilateral faces

Volume of the Great Pyramid of Giza

Estimated at ~2.6 million m³ (92 million ft³), due to erosion, but widely accepted by historians.

Difference Between a Triangular Prism and Pyramid

  • Prism: 2 triangular bases, edges parallel
  • Pyramid: 1 triangular base, edges meet at apex
