The volume of a pyramid of base area B and height H is calculated as:

The area of the base is calculated according to its shape. It could be a triangle, rectangle, square, etc.
The base of the given pyramid is a square of side length L = 7 cm. Note the tick marks on each side of the base, indicating all of them are congruent.
The area of the base is:
![\begin{gathered} B=L^2 \\ B=(7\text{ }\operatorname{cm})^2 \\ B=49cm^2 \end{gathered}]()
Now calculate the volume of the pyramid with H = 16 cm:

Choice C)
