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


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

Where:

L: It's the side of the square base

h: It's the height of the pyramid

We have that
L = 15 \ units, then
L ^ 2 = 15 ^ 2 = 225 \ units ^ 2

Substituting:


V = \frac {225 * 8} {3}\\V = 600 \ units ^ 3

Finally, the volume of the pyramid is
600 \ units ^ 3

Answer:


600 \ units ^ 3
