Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid can be obtained using the formula

$V=\frac{1}{3}b\cdot h$

According to the statement the base area is 9 squared inches and has a height of 10 in, using this information the volume is:

$\begin{gathered} V=\frac{1}{3}(9)\cdot(10) \\ V=\frac{90}{3} \\ V=30in^3 \end{gathered}$
