The formula for the volume \( V \) of a rectangular pyramid is given by:

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

For a rectangular base, the base area can be calculated as:

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

Given the dimensions:

  • Height = 75 in.
  • Width = 111 in.
  • Length = 111 in.

First, calculate the base area:

\[ \text{Base Area} = 111 , \text{in.} \times 111 , \text{in.} = 12,321 , \text{in.}^2 \]

Next, calculate the volume:

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 12,321 , \text{in.}^2 \times 75 , \text{in.} \]

\[ V = \frac{1}{3} \times 924,075 , \text{in.}^3 \]

\[ V = 308,025 , \text{in.}^3 \]

Thus, the volume of the pyramid-shaped tent is:

308,025 in.³ (or 308,025 in. cubed).

The best answer is:

308,025 in.³ (or 308,025 in. cubed).
