Answer
$960$ cubic centimeters
Work Step by Step
The volume $(V)$ of a square pyramid is given by the formula:
$V=\frac{1}{3}s^2h$
where
$s$=side length (edge) of the square base
$h$=height of the pyramid
The given pyramid has:
$s=12$ cm
$h=20$ cm
Using the formula above gives:
$V=\frac{1}{3}(12^2)(20)
\\V=960$
Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid is $960$ cubic centimeters.
