Answer:


300\ in^3

Explanation:

Use formula for the volume of the square pyramid:


V=(1)/(3)\cdot \text{Base area}\cdot \text{Height}

The base is a square with side 10 inches long, so its area is


\text{Base area}=10^2=100\ in^2

The height of the pyramid is 9 inches long, so the volume is


V=(1)/(3)\cdot 100\cdot 9=300\ in^3
