of Cholula in the Mexican state of Puebla.

SPECIFICATIONS

• If A is floor area and h is height, the volume of the pyramid is

V=1/3.A.h

• If y is flank height, the flank height is the hypotenuse of the right

triangle formed by the height and the radius, the area of the

pyramid is A+lateral area

• Lateral area= (Base perimeter.Side face height)/2
