Function definition: Volume of a pyramid

Define a function CalculatePyramidVolume with inputs baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight. The function returns pyramidVolume, the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base. Relevant geometry equations:

* Volume = base area x height x 1/3

* Base area = base length x base width

Your Solution

% Define a function CalculatePyramidVolume
% Function inputs: baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight
% Function output: pyramidVolume

Solution

function [pyramidVolume] = CalculatePyramidVolume(baseLength,baseWidth,pyramidHeight)
Base_area = baseLength x baseWidth;
Volume = Base_area x pyramidHeight x 1/3;
pyramidVolume = Volume;
end
