a crystal paperweight in the form of a square pyramid is represented by the figure below.
what is the volume of the paperweight, in cubic centimeters?
\boxed{} $cm^3$

Explanation:

Step1: Calculate base area

The base is a square with side length 6 cm, so area is $6 \times 6 = 36$ $\text{cm}^2$.

Step2: Apply pyramid volume formula

Volume of a pyramid is $\frac{1}{3} \times \text{base area} \times \text{height}$. Substitute values: $\frac{1}{3} \times 36 \times 9$

Step3: Compute final volume

First calculate $\frac{1}{3} \times 36 = 12$, then $12 \times 9 = 108$

Answer:

108 $\text{cm}^3$
