The volume of the piece of cheese can be calculated using the formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid, which is V = (1/3) * length * width * height.

Plugging in the values:
V = (1/3) * 9 cm * 4 cm * 21 cm
V = (1/3) * 756 cm^3
V = 252 cm^3

Therefore, the volume of the piece of cheese is 252 cm^3.
