Answer 1

V = 120 in^3

Here is why:

The volume formula for a pyramid is:

$V=\frac{1}{3}Bh$

The B stands for the area of the base, which in this case is a right triangle. We will find the area of the right triangle first, then plug it into the equation.

The area formula for a triangle is:

$A=\frac{1}{2}bh$

Plug in the numbers.

$A=\frac{1}{2}*9*10$

A = 45

Now we have found the area of B, we can plug it into the volume formula for the pyramid.

$V=\frac{1}{3}*45*8$

V = 120 in^3
