The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.

First, calculate the area of the base of the square pyramid. The base side is 3 yards, so the area of the base is 3 * 3 = 9 square yards.

Now, plug the values into the formula to find the volume:
V = (1/3) * 9 * 4 = 12 yd³

Therefore, the volume of the square pyramid is 12 cubic yards.
