The volume of a pyramid can be calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
In this case, the base of the pyramid is a rectangle with length 7.5 miles and width 7 miles. The area of the base is 7.5 miles * 7 miles = 52.5 mi^2.
The height of the pyramid is 5 miles.
Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = (1/3) * 52.5 * 5 = 87.5 mi^3.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 87.5 mi^3.
