Answer:

V=576 yards^3

Step-by-step explanation:

Since the formula for the volume of a pyramid is V=1/3Bh

You would do V= 1/3 (144) (12)

You get 144 (the area of the base) by doing s^2 since that is the formula for the area of a square since it says, "pyramid with a square 12-yard base" you would do 12^2=144

Knowing all that you then solve. Giving you a Answer of V=576 yards^3
