The volume of the given pyramid comes to be 64 cubic inches.
Length of the square base a= 8 inches
Slant height l =5 inches
What is the volume of a pyramid?
The volume of a pyramid is with base area A and height h is 1/3Ah.
So, base area A= 8*8 =64 square inches.
From Pythagoras theorem
[tex]l^{2} =(\frac{a}{2})^2 +h^{2}[/tex]
[tex]5^{2} =(\frac{8}{2})^2+h^{2}[/tex]
[tex]h=3[/tex] inches
So, volume of the pyramid = 1/3*A*h
=1/3*64*3
=64 cubic inches.
Hence, the volume of the given pyramid comes to be 64 cubic inches.
