A rectangular pyramid has a length of 7mi, width 7.5 mi, and height 5 mi. what is the volume of the rectangular pyramid?

Answer 1

To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you can use the formula:

Volume = (1/3) * Base Area * Height

First, calculate the base area of the rectangular pyramid:
Base Area = length * width
Base Area = 7 mi * 7.5 mi
Base Area = 52.5 square miles

Now, we can plug the values into the volume formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 52.5 * 5
Volume = (1/3) * 262.5
Volume = 87.5 cubic miles

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 87.5 cubic miles.
