    Default Pyramid Calculator - Dimensions Angles Areas Volumes

    I've just added a Pyramid Calculator to blocklayer.com that some of you may find useful.

    https://www.blocklayer.com/pyramid-calculator.aspx


    It works out all (?) dimensions, angles, areas and volume for multi sided pyramids.
    Drag the sliders to edit the inputs, animate and rotate the diagrams.
    What else should it work out, or what needs editing, adding or fixing?
    Thanks for any ideas.

    Nice work, one suggestion that I can think of is the height of the Pyramid.
    I'm finding it hard to get the height that I need. Dumbo me just realized that sliding the angle, gives the height. As an example, I've been asked to work out a pyramid shape with a flat top 500 square, the vertical height 1200 with a base width of 1500. Would it be possible to get the program to do this equation??? It's to be a mold for a concrete block.
    Thanks for doing all the hard work for us.

    I hope that block is mostly hollow -- if solid I'm calculating a volume of 0.8 cubic metres and a weight of 2.3 tonnes.

    Hi Kyrn

    this is the site you need https://rechneronline.de/pi/regular-frustum.php

    I make the dimensions of the sides to be 1500 at the base, 500 across the top, and 1300 high
