Respuesta :

256 units3 

Volume of the triangular pyramid = 13Bh

B = area of the triangle base, and h = height of the pyramid

V = 13Bh = 13(48)(16) = 256

Answer:

A. [tex]256\text{ units}^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given an image of a triangular pyramid and we are asked to find the volume of our given pyramid.

We will use volume of triangular pyramid formula to solve our given problem.

[tex]\text{Volume of triangular prism}=\frac{1}{3}*A*h[/tex], where,

A = Area of triangular base,

h = Height of the pyramid.

[tex]\text{Area of the base of pyramid}=\frac{1}{2}*12*8[/tex]

[tex]\text{Area of the base of pyramid}=6*8[/tex]

[tex]\text{Area of the base of pyramid}=48[/tex]

Upon substituting our given values in volume formula we will get,

[tex]\text{Volume of triangular prism}=\frac{1}{3}*48*16[/tex]

[tex]\text{Volume of triangular prism}=16*16[/tex]

[tex]\text{Volume of triangular prism}=256[/tex]

Therefore, the volume of our given triangular pyramid is 256 cubic units and option A is the correct choice.
