How would you find a code that would output the volume of a pyramid, This is what I have so far but it keeps saying a float can't be multiplied: def calc_base_area(base_length, base_width):    return base_length * base_width def calc_pyramid_volume(base_length, base_width, and pyramid_height):     return (calc_base_area * height) / (1/3) length = float(input()) width = float(input()) height = float(input()) print(f'Volume for {length} {width} {height} is: {calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height):.2f}')

Question

How would you find a code that would output the volume of a pyramid, This is what I have so far but it keeps saying a float can't be multiplied:

def calc_base_area(base_length, base_width):
   return base_length * base_width

def calc_pyramid_volume(base_length, base_width, and pyramid_height):
    return (calc_base_area * height) / (1/3)

length = float(input())
width = float(input())
height = float(input())
print(f'Volume for {length} {width} {height} is: {calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height):.2f}')
