Consider the paper triangle whose vertices are (0,0), (34,0), and (16,24). The vertices of its midpoint triangle are the midpoints of its sides. A triangular pyramid is formed by folding the triangle along the sides of its midpoint triangle. What is the volume of this pyramid?

Leading zeroes must be inputted, so if your answer is 34, then input 034
