To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you use the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.

First, find the base area by multiplying the width and length:
1 inch * 10.5 inches = 10.5 square inches.

Now, plug in the base area and height into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 10.5 sq in * 8 in = 28 cubic inches.

Therefore, the approximate volume of Nicol's watermelon slice is 28 in^3.

The correct answer is:
• 28 in^3
