#108cm^3#

Volume of a pyramid is always

#1/3xx"Height of Pyramid"xx"Area of Base"#

As area of base is #6xx6=36cm^2#

Volume of pyramid is #1/3xx9xx36=1/cancel3xxcancel9^3xx36=108# #cm^3#

See a step process below;

Using;

#v = a^2h/3 -> "Volume of a square pyramid"#

Where;

#v = "volume"#

#a = "base edge"#

#h = "height"#

Given;

#a = 6cm#

#h = 9cm#

Substituting the values..

#v = a^2h/3#

#v = 6^2 9/3#

#v = 36 xx 3#

#v = 108cm^3#
