However, the formula for calculating the volume of the rectangular pyramid is similar to the formula for computing the volume of a square pyramid. If l and w are two adjacent (unequal) sides of the rectangle in the bottom of the pyramid, the volume of the pyramid can be calculated as follows: (l x w) x (1/3) h. read more
