Equilateral Triangular Base
A pyramid with a rectangular base is a polyhedron that has one flat, rectangular face as its base and four triangular faces that meet at a single vertex. This geometric shape is a unique variation of the more commonly known pyramid, with an elongated form that differs from the equilateral triangular base.
Objects resembling a pyramid with a rectangular base can be found in architecture and design. For instance, some roofs of houses or other structures may have this shape, as it efficiently diverts rainwater while adding visual appeal. Additionally, certain packaging designs may adopt this form to create a distinctive and eye-catching appearance.
Easily calculate the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base with step-by-step guidance using our free calculator below.
The formula for determining the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is defined as:
\(V\): the volume of the pyramid
\(l\): the length of the longer side of the base
\(w\): the length of the shorter side of the base
\(h\): the height of the pyramid
The SI unit of volume is: \(cubic \text{ } meter\text{ }(m^3)\)
Find \(V\)
Use this calculator to determine the volume of rectangular pyramid when the sides of the base and the height are given.
