Please write a formula for the volume of such a pyramid.

anonymous · Answer

There ain't a formula for "such a pyramid". The question didn't state one, at least.

A very typical aspect of many, many problems is either "common knowledge" or "stuff you should know".  You should know this.  Find the formula and supply it to this discussion.
