The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

The area of the base is 4 cm x 9 cm = 36 cm^2.

So, the volume of the cheese wedge is V = (1/3)(36 cm^2)(21 cm) = 252 cm^3.

Therefore, the volume of the piece of cheese is 252 cubic centimeters.
