Answer:

300 square inches

Step-by-step explanation:

Given: Height of the pyramid is 9 inches and base area of the pyramid is 100 square inches

To find: volume of the pyramid

Solution:

A pyramid is a three geometrical shape that has a base and three or more triangular faces that meet at a point.

Height of the pyramid (h) = 9 inches

Base area of the pyramid (A) = 100 square inches

Volume of the pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}hA$

$=\frac{1}{3}(9)(100)=300\,\,square\,\,inches$
