Square Pyramid Definition:
     A Square Pyramid is a pyramid with a square base.

Square Pyramid Formula :
Area of Base(A) = s²
Surface Area of Pyramid = s² + 2sl = A + 2sl
Volume of Pyramid = (1/3)b²h
where
        s,b = side, h = height and l = slant height

Square Pyramid Example :
Case 1: Find the surface area and volume of a square pyramid with the given side 3, height 4 and the slant height 5.

  Step 1: Find the area of the base.
            Area of the base(A) = s² = 3² = 9.

  Step 2: Find the surface area of pyramid.
            Surface Area of Pyramid = A + 2sl = 9 + (2 * 3 * 5) = 9 + 30 = 39.

  Step 3: Find the volume of pyramid.
            Volume of Pyramid = (1/3)b²h = (1/3)b²h = (1/3)* 3² * 4 = 0.33 * 9 * 4 = 12.

The above example will clearly illustrates how to calculate the Volume, Surface Area of a Square Pyramid manually.
