What is the volume of the pyramid to the nearest whole unit?
A. 99 yd^3
B. 132 yd^3
C. 198 yd^3
D. 396 yd^3
base 6 yd
height 6 yd

There is no given radius, so it is impossible to calculate the volume of the pyramid.
To calculate the volume of a pyramid, we can use the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
Given that the base of the pyramid is a triangle with a base of 6 yd and a height of 6 yd, we can calculate the area of the base using the formula for the area of a triangle: (1/2) * base * height.
Substituting the values, we have:
Base area = (1/2) * 6 yd * 6 yd = 18 yd^2
Now we can calculate the volume:
V = (1/3) * 18 yd^2 * 6 yd = 6 yd^3 * 6 yd = 36 yd^3
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 36 yd^3. None of the answer choices provided match this result perfectly, so it seems there might be an error in the possible answers.
