    The volume of a frustum of a pyramid is given as: Volume = h/3 [ A1 + A2 + √ (A1 x A2) ] where h is the height, A1 is the area of the larger base and A2 is the smaller area. We are given all of the dimensions needed thus we can solve for the volume.

    Volume = h/3 [ A1 + A2 + √ (A1 x A2) ]

    A1 = 5^2 = 25 in

    A2 = 3^2 = 9 in

    Volume = (12/3) [ 25 + 9 + √ (25 x 9) ]

    Volume = 196 in^2
