so let's take a peek at the triangular pyramid, hmm it has a base of well, the base is a triangle, so we can say the triangle has a base of 10 and a height of 8, thus and area of (1/2)*10*8, and the pyramid has a height of 9.


\textit{Volume of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}Bh ~~ \begin{cases} B=\stackrel{base's}{area}\\ h=height\\[-0.5em] \hrulefill\\ B=(1)/(2)(10)(8)\\[1em] h=9 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}\left[ \cfrac{1}{2}(10)(8) \right](9) \\\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}(40)(9)\implies V=\cfrac{360}{3}\implies V=120~m^3
