$108cm^3$

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..

$v = a^2h/3$

$v = 6^2 9/3$

$v = 36 xx 3$

$v = 108cm^3$

What is the volume of a square pyramid, whose height and sides of base are 6cm.6cm.?
