We have to use the formula for the volume of a triangle pyramid: V=13Ah
For example, we have the height of the pyramid is 10, and the triangular base has a base of 8 and a height of 6.
First we need to find A, the area of the triangular base:
A=12bh, so we have A=12×8×6=24
Now we use the main formula for the volume of a triangular pyramid, V=13Ah, thus:
V=1324×10=240
