Elongated Square Pyramid Formulas


Volume (\(\small{V}\))

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

Surface area (\(\small{S}\))

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

Height (\(\small{h}\))

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