A right pyramid on a base 8cm square has a slant edge of 6cm, calculate the volume of the pyramid

I don't know
as always, V = 1/3 Bh
You have the base, but need the height.
Draw a side view, and you can see that
4^2 + 4^2 + h^2 = 6^2
h = 2
so V = 1/3 * 8^2 * 2 = 128/3 cm^3
kind of a low, squat pyramid, eh?
