Answer:

C. 8

Explanation:


{a}^(2) (h)/(3) = V

Starting with the ratio of 2:1, squaring the base edge will give you 4, but you need something more, so that when squared AGAIN, it will give you 8, so that would be 2√2. When you square this it will give you 8.

* This is not the best explanation, but I gave you one.

I am joyous to assist you anytime.
