Answer:
The area of the base is 108 square inches
Step-by-step explanation:
we know that
The volume of a pyramid is equal to
[tex]V=\frac{1}{3}Bh[/tex]
where
B is the area of the base
h is the height of the pyramid
In this problem we have
[tex]V=216\ in^3\\h=6\ in[/tex]
substitute and solve for B
[tex]216=\frac{1}{3}B(6)[/tex]
[tex]B=216(3)/6=108\ in^2[/tex]
therefore
The area of the base is 108 square inches
