Right Regular Pyramids
If some of the terminology used in this calculator seems unfamiliar to you, please
read the section below or go to the
regular polygon calculator.
The diagram above depicts a right regular pyramid
- a solid geometric figure whose base is a
regular polygon
, whose faces are all
congruent isosceles triangles, and whose
vertex is perpindicular to
the center of base.

Like the above diagram, the Great Pyramid of Egypt has a square base and 4 triangular faces and
that's what most people think of when they hear the word 'pyramid'.
However, mathematically speaking, the base could have any number of sides,
3 or greater.

The default setting is for 5 significant figures but you can change that
by inputting another number in the box above.
Answers are displayed in scientific notation and for easier readibility, numbers between
.001 and 1,000 will be displayed in standard format (with the same number of
significant figures.)
The answers should display properly but there are a few browsers that will show
no output whatsoever. If so, enter a zero
in the box above. This eliminates all formatting but it is better than seeing no
output at all.
