Let me define pyramid first.A pyramid is a Polyhedron , whose base can be any polygon and it's faces are triangular which meet at a point called vertex.

Volume of Pyramid = $\frac{1}{2}\times{\text{Area of Base}\times{\text{Height}$

Side of base which is an equilateral triangle= 4 cm

Area of whole pyramid = 12 square cm

Area of Equilateral triangle having side 4 cm= $\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times(Side)^2=\frac{\sqrt3}{4}\times(4)^2=4 \sqrt3$ cm²

So, Area of three triangle which are faces of pyramid = (12 - 4 √3)cm²

Area of triangle = $\frac{1}{2} \times (Base)\times(Height)$

12 - 4 √3= $\frac{1}{2} \times (4)\times(Height)$

Height = $\frac{12-4\sqrt3}{2}$

Height=(6-2√3) cm

Volume of pyramid = Area of Equilateral triangle which is it's Base × Height of Pyramid

=4√3 × (6-2√3) cm³

=(24 √3 -24)

= 24 (1.732-1)

=24 × 0.732

=17.568 cm³
