The volume of a triangular pyramid can be found using the formula V = 1/3AH where A = area of the triangle base, and H = height of the pyramid or the distance from the pyramid's base to the apex. For example, if we had a triangular pyramid with height 12 units and the area of the base was 24 square units, then the volume of the pyramid would be V = (1/3)(24)(12) = 96 cubic units. read more
