Volume of a square pyramid = (1/3)b^2h
where
b is length of one side square base
h is height
.
From the problem, we were given:
b = 11 meters
h = 12 meters
So:
Volume of a square pyramid = (1/3)b^2h
Volume of a square pyramid = (1/3)11^2(12)
Volume of a square pyramid = (1/3)121(12)
Volume of a square pyramid = 121(4)
Volume of a square pyramid = 484 square meters
