Answer

The volume, V, of a Pyramid with base area B and height h is given by the formula \[V=\frac{1}{3}Bh\]

Work Step by Step

A solid figure whose base is a polygon and side are triangles will be termed as a pyramid.The volume may be defined as the capacity or space that is being occupied by an item. The volume is expressed in terms of cubic units. The volume of a pyramid is determined as the one-third of the resultant of the base area and height of the pyramid. The volume of the pyramid can be calculated using the equation as shown below: \[V=\frac{1}{3}Bh\] Where, V stands for volume of the pyramid,“B” stands for the base area of the pyramid, and“h” stands for the height of the pyramid.
