Formulas for Elongated Square Pyramids

Volume

\(\displaystyle V= \left(1+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{6}\right)·a^3\) \(\displaystyle \;\;\;\;≈ 1.2357 ·a^3\)

Surface area

\(\displaystyle S= (5+\sqrt{3})· a^2\;\;\;\;≈ 6.732 ·a^2\)

Height

\(\displaystyle h=\left(1+\frac{\sqrt{2}}{2}\right) · a\;\;\;\;≈1.7071 ·a \)
