To calculate the volume of a pyramid, you need to know the height and the area of the base.

The formula to calculate the volume of a pyramid is:

Volume = (1/3) * base_area * height

In this case, the height is given as 4 m and the base has a length of 5 m. Since the base is a square, the base area can be calculated by squaring the length of one side:

base_area = length * width = 5m * 5m = 25m^2

Now we can substitute these values into the volume formula:

Volume = (1/3) * 25m^2 * 4m
= (1/3) * 100m^3
= 33.33m^3 (rounded to two decimal places)

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 33.33 cubic meters.

Apologies for the earlier incorrect response. You are right.

The formula to calculate the volume of a pyramid is:

Volume = (1/3) * base_area * height

Given that the base has a length of 5 m and a width of 5 m (since it is a square), the base_area is:

base_area = length * width = 5 m * 5 m = 25 m²

Substituting the values into the volume formula:

Volume = (1/3) * 25 m² * 4 m
= (1/3) * 100 m³
= 33.33 m³

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 33.33 cubic meters.
