For this case we have by definition, that the volume of a square base pyramid is given by:

$V = \frac {1} {3} * L ^ 2 * h$

Where:

L: It's the side of the base (square side)

h: It's the height of the pyramid

Substituting:

$L = 6 \ ft\\h = 10 \ ft$

$V = \frac {1} {3} * (6) ^ 2 * 10\\V = \frac {1} {3} * 36 * 10\\V = 120 \ ft ^ 3$

Answer:

$V = 120 \ ft ^ 3$
