volume of a square based pyramid is V = 1/3 b^2 h Volume of a square prism is V = b^2h just add the two volumes together.

OpenStudy (anonymous):

V=1/3*16^2*12 V=1/3*256*12 v=1/3*3072 v=1024 and V=b^2*h V=16^2*3 V=256*3 V=768 Total volume = 768+1024 Total Volume = 1792?

b = the length of a side of your base

OpenStudy (anonymous):

okay so V=64 V=48 Total volume =112

16+192=208 ! my bad i switched up the hieghts
