Answer:

V= 48 in^2

Explanation:

Formula

Since the base has a known area, we do not need the full volume formula. This formula is

V = B * h / 3

B is the area of the base and h is the height measured from the top of the pyramid to the base meeting the base at right angles.

Givens

B = 24 in^2

h = 6 in

Solution

V = B * h / 3

V = 24 * 6/3

V= 48 in^2
