434\sqrt{3}

Step-by-step solution

2 steps
  1. Calculate the area of the base triangle ABC.

    The base triangle ABC is an equilateral triangle with side length a=23a = 2\sqrt{3}.
    The formula for the area of an equilateral triangle is Area=34a2\text{Area} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} a^2.

    AreaABC=34(23)2\text{Area}_{ABC} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (2\sqrt{3})^2 AreaABC=34(4×3)\text{Area}_{ABC} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (4 \times 3) AreaABC=34(12)\text{Area}_{ABC} = \frac{\sqrt{3}}{4} (12) AreaABC=33\text{Area}_{ABC} = 3\sqrt{3}
  2. Calculate the volume of the pyramid SABC.

    The height of the pyramid is SO=4SO = 4.
    The formula for the volume of a pyramid is V=13×Area of Base×HeightV = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Area of Base} \times \text{Height}.

    V=13×AreaABC×SOV = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Area}_{ABC} \times SO V=13×(33)×4V = \frac{1}{3} \times (3\sqrt{3}) \times 4 V=3×4V = \sqrt{3} \times 4 V=43V = \boxed{4\sqrt{3}}
