How to define a function CalculatePyramidVolume with inputs baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight

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 * height * 1/3

* Base area = base length * base width

Starter code

% Define a function CalculatePyramidVolume

% Function inputs: baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight

% Function output: pyramidVolume

Assessments

Check if function definition exists

Check functions input and output arguments

Check if CalculatePyramidVolume(1, 1, 1) returns 0.3333

Check if CalculatePyramidVolume(5.8, 4.0, 6.0) returns 46.4000

This is the function part:

function [VP] = PyramidVolume(l,w,h)
VP=(1/3)*l*w*h 
end

You need to call it in a script like this

l = input('Base lenght: ');
w = input('Base width: ');
h = input('height: ');
VP = PyramidVolume(l,w,h)

Check it yourself it should work, you can also just define l w and h instead of making them inputs

[ELIZA BAUTISTA]

why do I keep getting error on w = input('Base width: '); ? although others are being accepted

[SAA]

You should not get an error, what error are you getting can you post a screenshot?

I tried the code and it worked

[Alanah Baldwin]

how do you define h and l so that theyre not inputs, also how do u add that the surface area is limited to a specifit number, in my example, 12

Answer 2

[Michael Haracopos]

function [VP] = PyramidVolume(l,w,h)

VP=(1/3)*l*w*h

end

Answer 3

[Milen]

function [VP] = PyramidVolume(l,w,h)

VP=(1/3)*l*w*h

Answer 4

[Aishly]

function [VP] = PyramidVolume(l,w,h)

VP=(1/3)*l*w*h

end
