Answer 1

Answer:

The volume is 356 $in^3$ , which agrees with the second answer option listed.

Step-by-step explanation:

Recall that the volume of a pyramid is the product of the area of its base(B)  times the pyramid's height (h), divided by three:

$V=B*\frac{h}{3}$

For our case, the area of the base "B" is the area of a square of side = 8 inches. That is the area B is:

$B=(8 \,in)^2=64\,in^2$

Now we can include this value and the value of the pyramid's height (h=12 in) in the formula for the volume to give the answer:

$V=B*\frac{h}{3}=64\,in^2\,\frac{12\,in}{3} =256\,in^3$

Answer 2

The volume is 356 inches
