To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you use the formula V = (1/3) * (base area) * height.
First, find the base area of the rectangular pyramid:
Base area = (side length)^2
Base area = 12^2 = 144 square meters
Then, plug the base area and height into the volume formula:
V = (1/3) * 144 * 10
V = 480 cubic meters
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 480 m3.
So, the answer is:
480 m3
