To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you first need to find the area of the base and then multiply it by the height and divide by 3.
First, find the area of the base:
Area of a rectangle = length x width
Area of the base = 7 x 7.5 = 52.5
Now, multiply the area of the base by the height and divide by 3 to find the volume:
Volume = (52.5 x 5) / 3
Volume = 262.5 / 3
Volume = 87.5
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 87.5 cubic units.
picture this...
