What is the volume of a square pyramid whose length of one side of its base is 9 cm and whose height is 15 cm. Show your work.

The volume of this pyramid is 405 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

1. Let's review the information given to us to answer the question correctly:

Length of one side of the base is 9 cm

Height of the pyramid is 15 cm

2. What is the volume of this square pyramid?

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 * Length of the side of the base² * Height of the pyramid

Replacing with the real values:

Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 * 9² * 15

Volume of the pyramid = 1,215/3 = 405 cm³

The volume of this pyramid is 405 cm³
