Any pyramid — square base, triangular base, any base at all — fills exactly one-third of the prism with the same base and height. The Great Pyramid of Giza, with a 230 m square base (B ≈ 52,900 m²) and an original height of 147 m, encloses about 2.6 million m³ of stone. Use the perpendicular height from base plane to apex, never the slant height up a face.
