Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid can be calculated as:

`V=(1)/(3)\cdot B\cdot H`

Where B is the area of the base and H is the height. We are given V = 60 cubic inches and H = 5 inches. Solving for B:

`B=(3V)/(H)`

Substituting:

`B=(3\cdot60in^3)/(5in)=36in^2`

The area of the base is 36 square inches.

We must choose the option whose area is 36 sq in.

A square of a side length of 6 inches has an area of:

`A=(6in)^2=36in^2`

Thus, the correct choice is D.
