A triangle-based pyramid consists of 4 triangles, because of this, a triangle-based pyramid is also known as a tetrahedron.

What is the formula for a triangular-based pyramid?

The volume of a triangular pyramid can be found using the formula V = 1/3AH where A = area of the triangle base, and H = height of the pyramid or the distance from the pyramid's base to the apex.
