About Triangular Pyramid Formula

A triangular pyramid has a triangle-shaped base and here, all three triangular faces meet at the apex. There is a special case of a triangular pyramid called a tetrahedron, it has equilateral triangles for each face. The triangular pyramid formula consists of both volume and surface area of the triangular pyramid which calculates three triangular-shaped sides, height and slant height. The below figure shows how a triangular pyramid looks like:

Triangular Pyramid Formula

A pyramid with triangle -shaped base whose three triangular faces meet at the apex. The triangular pyramid formula included both the volume and surface area of the pyramid. The triangular pyramid volume formula evaluates base area and height whereas the surface area of the triangular pyramid evaluates base area, perimeter and slant height. Formulas for volume and surface area of the triangular pyramid are given below which are used in the triangular pyramid formula. Get the List of all Maths formulas in one place.

Pyramid

Volume = 1/3 x Base area x Height

Surface Area of Triangular Pyramid = Base area + 1/2(perimeter x slant height)
