Answer:

24 in³

Explanation:

The volume of a prism is given by the formula ...

V = Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height.

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula ...

V = (1/3)Bh

where B and h have the same definitions.

For a pyramid with the same B and h as a prism, the volume is 1/3 that of the prism:

(1/3) × (72 in³) = 24 in³ . . . . volume of the pyramid
