To find the volume of a square-based pyramid, you can use the formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times B \times h
\]

where \( V \) is the volume, \( B \) is the area of the base, and \( h \) is the height of the pyramid.

In this case, it seems you have a square base with a side length of 6 cm, and the height of the pyramid is 10 cm.

1. Calculate the area of the base \( B \):

\[
B = \text{side}^2 = 6 \, \text{cm} \times 6 \, \text{cm} = 36 \, \text{cm}^2
\]

2. Now, substitute \( B \) and \( h \) into the volume formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 36 \, \text{cm}^2 \times 10 \, \text{cm}
\]

3. Calculate \( V \):

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 360 \, \text{cm}^3 = 120 \, \text{cm}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is \( 120 \, \text{cm}^3 \).
