The volume of the air inside the parachute designed by Leonardo da Vinci is  576 cubic yards.

The length of the side of the squared base = 12 yards

So, the area of this squared base =12*12 = 144 square yards.

Height of the parachute =12 yards

What is the volume of a pyramid?

The volume of a pyramid with base area A and height h is 1/3Ah.

So, the volume of the air inside the parachute designed by Leonardo da Vinci =1/3*144*12

=576 cubic yards.

Hence, the volume of the air inside the parachute designed by Leonardo da Vinci is  576 cubic yards.
