The volume \( V \) of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{Base Area} \times \text{Height}
\]

The base area of a rectangular pyramid is given by:

\[
\text{Base Area} = \text{Length} \times \text{Width}
\]

In this case, the length is 7 miles, the width is 7.5 miles, and the height is 5 miles.

1. Calculate the base area:

\[
\text{Base Area} = 7 \, \text{mi} \times 7.5 \, \text{mi} = 52.5 \, \text{mi}^2
\]

2. Now, substitute the base area and height into the volume formula:

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 52.5 \, \text{mi}^2 \times 5 \, \text{mi}
\]

\[
V = \frac{1}{3} \times 262.5 \, \text{mi}^3
\]

\[
V = 87.5 \, \text{mi}^3
\]

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is \( 87.5 \, \text{mi}^3 \).
