We can use 3d vectors.  This pyramid is spanned by the vectors (2,0,0), (0,3,0), and (0,0,4).  Taking the determinant gives us a volume of 8.

Side lengths are half of each side so 3*2*4=24/2=12

The area of the triangular pyramid is 13bh. We can make the base the top face, and the base has an area of 342=6. The height that is given is 124=2. Now, we can plug these values in, and we get V=13bh. V=13(6)(2) V=4 in3.
