Volume of a Pyramid

A pyramid has a base and triangular sides which rise to meet at the same point. The base may be any polygon such as a square, rectangle, triangle, etc. The general formula for the volume of a pyramid is:

Area of the base * Height * 1/3

The volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is equal to:

Length_of_base * Width_of_base * Height * 1/3

Pyramid 1: [(440 x 440) x 280 x 1/3] = 18069333.33 cubic cubits

Pyramid 2: [(411.28 x 411.28) x 274.1 x 1/3] = 15454784.82

Pyramid 3: [(201.46 x 201.46) x 126.01 x 1/3 = 1704752.81

1 DOES NOT equal (2 + 3) or are my numbers incorrect ?

or ...

Is my reading of your diagram in error and what you are trying to tell us in it.

Best and good to see you back again.
