V = 13 × a² × h  |  l² = h² + (a/2)²  |  e² = l² + (a/2)²

Volume of Pyramid — Sand Pouring Simulation
Ready to start the experiment. Click "Fill Pyramid with Sand".
Here, we notice that the cube is filled with sand or flour after pouring 3 times from the pyramid.
Hence, 3 × Volume of the square based pyramid = volume of cube
Or, volume of the square based pyramid =
13
volume of cube
=
13
× area of base × height
If 'a' is the length of base and 'h' is the height of the square based pyramid, then its
volume
=
13
area of base × height
=
13
× A × h
=
13
× a2 × h
