The formula for finding the Volume of square pyramid is given by :
![V = a^(2) (h)/(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/middle-school/yi5zqjbd6qlrvya1jzi3phbsj29mqsrrry.png)
where a is base edge and,
h = height.
We are given in the figure,
base edge = 18cm
Height =12 cm
So plugging these values in the formula for volume , we have
![V = (18)^(2) (12)/(3)](https://img.qammunity.org/2019/formulas/mathematics/high-school/on7of5qifubt4rwow5sgluy23pdvav2qyh.png)
On solving we get ,
Volume of square pyramid = 1296 cm³.
So first option is the correct choice .
