    • 1

      Measure the length of the pyramid's base with a ruler or tape measure. Make a note of the length.

    • 2

      Determine the width of the pyramid's base using a ruler or tape measure. Make a note of the width.

      Use the formula for determining the area of a rectangle (area = length x width) to find the pyramid's area. For example, if the length of the pyramid is 5 inches, and the width is 6 inches, use the formula to determine that the area of the pyramid's base is 30 inches.
