What is the volume of a rectangular pyramid with a base of 7 and a height of 5?

1 answer

The volume of a rectangular pyramid is calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * b * h, where b is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

Given that the base of the pyramid has dimensions of 7 x 5, the area of the base (b) is 7 * 5 = 35.

Now, we can plug in the values into the formula:

V = (1/3) * 35 * 5
V = (1/3) * 175
V = 58.33

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid with a base of 7 and a height of 5 is 58.33 cubic units.
