Answer:

The volume of the square pyramid is
80\ cm^(3)

Explanation:

we know that

The volume of a pyramid is equal to


V=(1)/(3)Bh

where

B is the area of the base of pyramid

h is the height of the pyramid

in this problem we have


B=16\ cm^(2)


h=15\ cm^(2)

substitute the values


V=(1)/(3)(16)(15)=80\ cm^(3)
