Methods: Pyramid Volume

This is my task that I have to do:

Define a method pyramidVolume with double parameters baseLength, baseWidth, and pyramidHeight, that returns as a double the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base.

Here is my code:

import java.util.Scanner;

public class CalcPyramidVolume {

public static void pyramidVolume (double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight) {
  baseLength = 1.0;
  baseWidth = 1.0;
  pyramidHeight = 1.0;

  double pyramidVolume = ((baseLength * baseWidth) * pyramidHeight) / 3;
}   

public static void main (String [] args) {
  System.out.println("Volume for 1.0, 1.0, 1.0 is: " + pyramidVolume(1.0, 1.0, 1.0));
  return;
}
}

I can edit only the section of code where I created the pyramidVolume method call. I am getting an error that says 'void' type not allowed here and it is pointing the to system.out line which i can not edit. I am very confused on why it is giving me an error on that line.

static double calcPyramidVolume(double baseLength, double baseWidth, double 
pyramidHeight) {
double Volume, baseArea;
baseArea = baseLength * baseWidth;
Volume = baseArea * pyramidHeight * 1/3;
return Volume;
}

is actually the correct code for this assignment.

pyramidVolume return type is void. Change return type to double as below:

public static double pyramidVolume (double baseLength, double baseWidth, double pyramidHeight) {

  double pyramidVolume = ((baseLength * baseWidth) * pyramidHeight) / 3;
  return pyramidVolume;
}
