puteri [66]

Answer:

volume = 13500 $cm^{3}$

Step-by-step explanation:

For a given pyramid, its volume can be determined by:

volume of pyramid = $\frac{lwh}{3}$

Where: l is the base length, w is the base width and h id the height of the pyramid.

For the given question, l 30 cm, w = 30 cm and h = 45 cm.

So that,

volume = $\frac{30*30*45}{3}$

= $\frac{40500}{3}$

= 13500

volume = 13500 $cm^{3}$

The volume of the pyramid is 13500 $cm^{3}$ .
