To clarify, we need to determine the "width" of the pyramid. However, the terms used (side length, diameter) may not correspond to a pyramid's dimensions. A pyramid is typically defined by its base and height, and it's generally not described in terms of diameter.
1. **Height**: The height of the pyramid is given as 6 miles.
2. **Base**: The side length of the base (which is typically a square for a square pyramid) is given as 7 miles.
Let's first clarify that the volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]
Given that the base is a square with a side length of 7 miles, the area of the base is:
\[
\text{Base Area} = \text{side length}^2 = 7^2 = 49 \text{ mi}^2
\]
Then, the volume of the pyramid can be calculated as:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 49 \text{ mi}^2 \times 6 \text{ mi} = \frac{294}{3} \text{ mi}^3 = 98 \text{ mi}^3
\]
It seems there might be confusion with the term "diameter" as well, since volume is not given in terms of diameter. However, if "diameter" is mistakenly referred to volume (as 154 mi³), then we can discern that this pyramid does not match that volume.
Now, if you need the width, we can assume that you mean the width of the base side, as the side length of the base for this pyramid is already stated to be 7 miles.
Thus, the width of the base of the pyramid (assuming it is rectangular or square) is 7 miles.
In conclusion, the width (assuming it's the base side length) is:
\[
\text{Width} = 7 \text{ miles}
\]
