The Volume of a Triangle Based Pyramid calculator computes the volume (V) of a pyramid with a triangle base that is defined by the length of the three triangle base sides (a,b,c) and height (h) from the base to the apex.
INSTRUCTIONS: Choose units and enter the following:
Pyramid Volume (V): The volume is returned in cubic meters. However, the user can automatically convert this to any of the other volume units (e.g. cubic feet, liters, or gallons) via the pull-down menu.
The formula for the volume of a pyramid with a triangle base is:
`V = 1/3 * h * sqrt((a+b+c)/2((a+b+c)/2-a)((a+b+c)/2-b)((a+b+c)/2-c))`
