find the volume of a pyramid in python

To find the volume of a pyramid in Python, we first need to understand the formula for calculating the volume of a pyramid.

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is:

V = (1/3)* base_area * height

where base_area is the area of the base of the pyramid, and height is the height of the pyramid.

To calculate the volume of a pyramid in Python, we can use the following code:

main.py
import math

def pyramid_volume(base_length, base_width, height):
    base_area = base_length * base_width
    volume = (1/3) * base_area * height
    return volume

# Example usage
print(pyramid_volume(5, 10, 7))

10 lines

In this code, we first import the math module to use the math functions. We then define a function pyramid_volume that takes in the length and width of the base of the pyramid and its height as parameters.

In the function, we calculate the area of the base of the pyramid using base_length * base_width. We then calculate the volume of the pyramid using the formula: V = (1/3)* base_area * height.

Finally, we return the volume of the pyramid.

To test the function, we call it with the base length of 5 units, base width of 10 units, and a height of 7 units.
