To find the volume of the pyramid. We use the formula

#color(blue)("Volume of pyramid"=1/3*a^2*h#

Where,

#color(orange)(a="Side length of the base"=12#

#color(orange)(h="Height of the pyramid"=42#

Apply the values in the formula

#rarr1/3*a^2*h#

#rarr1/3*12^2*42# #m^3#

#rarr1/3*12*12*42# #m^3#

#rarr1/3*144*42# #m^3#

#rarr1/cancel3^1*144*cancel42^14# #m^3#

#rarr144*14# #m^3#

#color(green)(rArr2016# #color(green)(m^3#

The answer is a surprise!
