The diagram below shows a right square pyramid with a base that is 6 centimeters (cm) on each side. The pyramid is intersected by a plane exactly halfway between the top and bottom. The intersection of the plane and the pyramid creates a smaller pyramid as shown in the shaded area. 6 cm 6 cm If the volume of the entire pyramid is 96 cm3, what is the volume of the smaller pyramid, in cubic centimeters?
