Answer:

The volume of the square pyramid is 1,125 cubic centimeters

Explanation:

From the diagram in the question, we have;

The height of the pyramid, h = 8 cm

The side length of the square base of the pyramid = 15 cm

The area of the square base of the pyramid, A = 15 cm × 15 cm = 225 cm²

The volume of a pyramid = 1/3 × A × h

Where;

A = The base area of the pyramid

h = The height of the pyramid

Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid, V = 1/3 × A × h

∴ V = 1/3 × 225 cm² × 15 cm = 1,125 cm³

The volume of the square pyramid, V = 1,125 cm³
