Answer 2

you have a square base of 8 by 8. So the area of this base will be 8², which is equivalent to 64.
You have the height of 23, but you are only using 1/3 of the square-height of 23 inches, so

8 × 8 × 23 × 1/3 = 490.6666 ≈ 491

(square vs your pyramid ─ just like a cylinder vs a cone)

Answer 3

there you are - confirmation - the volume contains 1/3 not 1/2
