To find the volume of a pyramid with a square base, you can use the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * base area * height

In this case, the base of the pyramid is a square with a side length of 10.6 inches, so the base area can be calculated as:

Base area = side length * side length

Let's calculate the base area first:

Base area = 10.6 in * 10.6 in

Next, we'll substitute the values into the volume formula:

Volume = (1/3) * (10.6 in * 10.6 in) * 12.3 in

Calculating this expression will give us the volume of the pyramid. Rounding the answer to the nearest tenth of a cubic inch will provide the final result.
