Square Pyramid Definition:
A Square Pyramid is a pyramid with a square base.
Square Pyramid Formula:
Area of Base(A) = s²
Surface Area of Pyramid = s² + 2sl = A + 2sl
Volume of Pyramid = (1/3)b²h
where
s,b = side, h = height and l = slant height

Square Pyramid Example:
Case 1: Find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid with the given side 3, height 4 and the slant height 5.
Step 1: Find the area of the base.
Area of the base(A) = s² = 3² = 9.
Step 2: Find the surface area of pyramid.
Surface Area of Pyramid = A + 2sl = 9 + (2 * 3 * 5) = 9 + 30 = 39.
Step 3: Find the volume of pyramid.
Volume of Pyramid = (1/3)b²h = (1/3)b²h = (1/3)* 3² * 4
= 0.33 * 9 * 4 = 12.
The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Volume, Surface Area of a Square Pyramid manually.
