B 48 in³
The formula to calculate the volume of a triangular pyramid is: V = (1/3) * base area * height
Given that the base area is 12 square inches and the height is 8 inches, plug these values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 12 * 8
V = (1/3) * 96
V = 32
Therefore, the volume of the block is 32 cubic inches.
