To find the volume of a square pyramid, you can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) × Base Area × Height
For a square pyramid, the base area can be calculated as:
Base Area = Base Length × Base Length
In this case, the base length is 4 cm, so:
Base Area = 4 cm × 4 cm = 16 cm²
Now, we can substitute the base area and the height into the volume formula. The height of the pyramid is given as 9 cm:
Volume = (1/3) × 16 cm² × 9 cm
Calculating this gives us:
Volume = (1/3) × 144 cm³ = 48 cm³
Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid is 48 cm³.
