#("area of base " xx " height")/3#

Explanation:

Every pyramid has the same formula: the area of the base times the height and divide by three.

Since we're dealing with a square pyramid, the base is always a square of area #s^2# (where #s# is the square's side length).

If we call #h# the pyramid's height, then the pyramid's volume #V# is given by

#V=(s^2h)/3#
