Answered by admin @



Answer:

B.) 128ft^3

Step-by-step explanation:

The base of the pyramid is square shaped with given edge and altitude:

So, the pyramid is a Right square pyramid.

Height of the pyramid(h)=6 feet

Edge of the base(a)= 8 feet

Volume of a right square pyramid(V)= a^2*\frac{h}{3}

          Putting the given values in the formula:

         Volume=

  volume of pyramid=  8*8*\frac{6}{3} \\\\64*2\\\\128 ft^3

The volume of the square based pyramid is 128ft^3
