How Do You Find the Volume of a Triangular Pyramid?

Note:

If you want to find the volume of a triangular pyramid, you'll need to know the length and height of the base and the height of the pyramid. Once you have those values, you can plug them into the formula for the volume of a triangular pyramid and simplify. Check out this tutorial to see this process!

- What is a Pyramid?
  
  You've probably seen pictures of Egyptian pyramids, or maybe you've even seen them in person! Those pyramids mostly have either triangular or rectangular bases, but did you know that there are other types of pyramids? In this tutorial, you'll see what a three-dimensional solid needs to be called a pyramid. You'll also see how to name these pyramids, so take a look!
