Answer:

The volume of the pyramid is 16 cm³.

Explanation:

The volume of squared-base pyramid is given by the formula:


V=A* (h)/(3)

Here,

V = volume of the squared-base pyramid

A = area of the square base

h = height of the pyramid.

The information provided is:

a = side of square = 4 cm

h = 3 cm

Compute the area of the square base as follows:


A=a^(2)\\=4^(2)\\=16\ \text{cm}^(2)

Compute the volume of squared-base pyramid as follows:


V=A* (h)/(3)


=16* (3)/(3)\\\\=16

Thus, the volume of the pyramid is 16 cm³.
