Volume of Pyramid

In this chapter, we will study volume of pyramid. We will also learn the formula for volume of pyramid as well as the pyramid triangle.  You would also be able to work on some examples where it would lead to getting the right and clear idea of it. It is important to note that the volume of pyramid is dependent on the type of the base of the pyramid. So, it depends on whether the base is a square, triangle or rectangle. It proves to be a poly sided figure when it comes to the base of the pyramid. So, it is on the basis of the structure  of the height and the base of the pyramid that is required for the formula to find out its volume and also its surface area. Let us go ahead and learn more about it in the best way.
