To clarify, it seems you are referring to a triangular pyramid (also known as a tetrahedron) with a height of 15 units and a base length of 16 units. However, it's important to specify whether the base refers to the length of the edges of the triangular base or something else.
Assuming you mean that the triangular base has a side length of 16 units, we can calculate the volume of the pyramid.
The formula for the volume \( V \) of a pyramid is:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
1. **Calculate the area of the triangular base**:
The area \( A \) of an equilateral triangle can be calculated using the formula:
\[
A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} s^2
\]
where \( s \) is the side length of the triangle. Substituting \( s = 16 \):
\[
A = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 16^2 = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} \times 256 = 64\sqrt{3}
\]
2. **Calculate the volume**:
Now we can substitute the area of the base and height into the volume formula:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 64\sqrt{3} \times 15
\]
\[
V = \frac{960\sqrt{3}}{3} = 320\sqrt{3}
\]
So, the volume of the triangular pyramid is \( 320\sqrt{3} \) cubic units.
Please let me know if you were referring to a different kind of base or if you need further calculations!
