Answer:

128√5/3 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Since we are not told what to find, we can as well look for the volume of the pyramid

Volume of a square pyramid: V = (1/3)a²h

a is the side length of the square

h is the height of the pyramid

Given

a = 8mm

l² = (a/2)² + h²

l² = (a/2)² + h²

6² = (8/2)² + h²

h² = 6² - 4²

h² = 36 - 16

h² = 20

h = √20

Volume of a square pyramid =  (1/3)*8²*√20

Volume of a square pyramid = 1/3 * 64 * 2√5

Volume of a square pyramid = 128√5/3 mm³
