The missing side length of the base of the pyramid is 78 feet.

To find the volume of the pyramid, we first need to find the area of the base:
Perimeter of base = 2 * (18 + 78) = 2 * 96 = 192 feet

Since the base is a square, each side length is 192 / 4 = 48 feet
Area of base = 48 * 48 = 2304 square feet

Now, we can find the volume of the pyramid using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * Area of base * Height

Assuming the height is 12 feet:
Volume = (1/3) * 2304 * 12 = 9216 cubic feet

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 9216 cubic feet.
