based pyramid.
8 cm
16 cm
[? ]cm

Answer 1

96 cm³

Explanation:

The volume of a square-based pyramid is equal to the:

area of the base × height × 1/3

The area of the base is equal to the area of a square, so s² or side².

= 6² × 8 × 1/3

= 36 × 8/3

= 96

The volume of the square-based pyramid is 96 cm³.

Answer 2

96 cm³

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is
`(1)/(3) *b*h`

Using our measurements, we get:

`(1)/(3) *6*6*8=\\2*6*8=\\12*8=\\96`
