To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you need to know the base area and the height of the pyramid.
The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is: 1/3 * base area * height
The base of the pyramid is a rectangle with a length of 7.5 miles and a width of 5 miles. Therefore, the base area is 7.5 miles * 5 miles = 37.5 square miles.
The height of the pyramid is 7 miles.
Plugging these values into the formula:
Volume = 1/3 * 37.5 * 7
Volume = 1/3 * 262.5
Volume = 87.5 cubic miles
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 87.5 cubic miles.
