The volume of a rectangular pyramid can be calculated using the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
First, calculate the base area of the rectangular pyramid:
Base area = length * width
Base area = 8 mm * 5 mm
Base area = 40 mm²
Now, substitute the base area and height values into the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 40 mm² * 18 mm
Volume = (1/3) * 720 mm³
Volume = 240 mm³
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 240 cubic millimeters.
An illustration shows a rectangular pyramid with a length of 8 millimeters, a width of 5 millimeters, and a perpendicular height of 18 millimeters. The right and front faces are visible. Edges and faces that are not visible are indicated by dashed lines.
