The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3}Bh \]
where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.
First, we need to find the area of the base. Since the base is a square with side length 11.8 ft, the area of the base is:
\[ B = (11.8 ft)^2 = 139.24 ft^2 \]
Next, we can substitute the values into the formula to find the volume:
\[ V = \frac{1}{3}(139.24 ft^2)(5.2 ft) \]
\[ V = 306.492 ft^3 \]
Rounded to the nearest tenth, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 306.5 cubic feet.

Not right.. Try again.
My apologies for the mistake. Let's redo the calculations correctly.
