A rectangular pyramid is a three-dimensional object with a rectangle for a base and a triangular face coresponding to each side of the base. The triangular faces which are not the rectangular base are called lateral faces and meet at a point called the vertex or apex. Usually right pyramids are studied.
In general, the volume of a pyramid is one-third the area of the base times the height of the pyramid.
In general, the surface area of a pyramid is the sum of the areas of all of the faces of the pyramid.
