Answer:

Volume of square Pyramid is 48 cubic inches.

Option A is correct option.

Explanation:

Height of Pyramid = 4 in

Length of Base = 6 in

We need to find volume of square pyramid

The formula used is:


Volume\: of\: Square\: Pyramid=(1)/(3)* A * h

Where A is area of base and h is height.


Area\: of\: Base =(Length)^2= 6^2 = 36

Now, putting values of A = 36 and h = 5 and finding volume


Volume\: of\: Square\: Pyramid=(1)/(3)* A * h\\Volume\: of\: Square\: Pyramid=(1)/(3)* 36 * 4\\Volume\: of\: Square\: Pyramid=12 * 4\\Volume\: of\: Square\: Pyramid=48 \: cubic\:inches

So, Volume of square Pyramid is 48 cubic inches.

Option A is correct option.
