Answer:

Volume = 500 cm³

Explanation:

Given the following data;

Side length of the base = 10cm

Height = 15 cm

To find the volume of pyramid with a square base;

Mathematically, the volume of a pyramid with a square base is given by the formula;

Volume of square-based pyramid = A(h/3)

Where;

A is the area of the square base.

h is the height of the pyramid.

First of all, we would find the area of the square base;

Area of square, A = L²

A = 10²

A = 100 ft²

Next, we find the volume of the square-based pyramid;

Volume = 100(15/3)

Volume = 100 * 5

Volume = 500 cm³
