V=(1/3)(area of the base)(altitude)

V=(1/3)(6²)(6)= 72 m³

Answer:
72\text{ cubic meters}

Explanation:

Given: The base of the right pyramid is square with side = 6 m

Since, the altitude (h) is equals to the base , thus h=6m.

We know that the volume of the square pyramid is given by :_


\text{Volume}=(1)/(3)a^2h, where a is the side of the square.

Then, the volume of the given right pyramid is given by :_


\text{Volume}=(1)/(3)(6)^2(6)\\\\\Rightarrow\ \text{Volume}=72\text{ cubic meters}
