A QUICK WALKTHROUGH

How to use this tool

  1. Enter base side length.
  2. Enter perpendicular height.
  3. Calculate volume in cubic units.

Formula and scope

For square base side s and perpendicular height h, V = s²h/3. Both lengths must use the same unit.

Ideal geometry

Assumes a flat square base and perpendicular height. Local calculation only.
