Introduction about pyramid:

Triangular pyramid is one type of three dimensional shapes. It has 4 vertices. 3 vertices are in the base and 1 vertex is on top of the pyramid. Vertices are nothing but the corner points of the pyramid. The shape of the triangular pyramid is shown in below. In the figure A, B, C, and D are the vertices. Let us see how to calculate the surface area and volume of the triangular pyramid.
