V=area of base.height.1/3
V=s.s.h.1/3

Answer:

Volume of pyramid is \(\frac{1}{3}s^3\)

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Length of side of the Base square = s

           Height of the pyramid = s

To find Volume of Pyramid.

We know that Volume of pyramid is ,

\(Volume=\frac{1}{3}\times Base\:Area\times Height\)

Area of Base = Area of the Square

                      = side × side

                      = s × s

                      = s² unit²

So, \(Volume=\frac{1}{3}\times s^2\times s=\frac{1}{3}s^3\)

Therefore, Volume of pyramid is \(\frac{1}{3}s^3\)
