Answer:
288 in^3
Step-by-step explanation:
1) find the volume of the cube
V = side^3 = 6^3 = 216 in^3
2) find the base surface of the pyramid:
base surface = side^2 = 6^2 = 36 in^2
3) find the height of the pyramid:
height of the solid - height of the cube = 12 - 6 = 6 in
4) find the volume of the pyramid:
V = (base area x height) / 3 = (36 x 6)/3 = 72 in^3
5) add up the two volumes
V = 216 + 72 = 288 in^3
