    The volume of a pyramid is one-third of the product of its altitude and area of the base.

    Area of the base = (8 in) ² = 64 in²

    Altitude:

    The altitude is the length of the right triangle formed from the base and the slant height as the hypotenuse.

    (5 in) ² = h² + (4 in) ²

    h = 3 in

    Volume:

    V = Ah/3

    V = (64 in²) (9 in) / 3 = 192 in³

    The volume of the solid right pyramid is equal to 192 in³.
