It is given that

A pyramid [tex]\rm frustum[/tex] has a 4 m by 4 m square top

Height = 12 m

Base = 20 m

The volume of a square pyramid with a  [tex]\rm frustum[/tex] is given by

V = (1/2) * ( Area of base + Area of  [tex]\rm frustum[/tex] ) * height of the  [tex]\rm frustum[/tex] from the base

V = 0.5 * ( 20 *20 + 4*4 ) * 12

V = 2496 cu.m
