Answer 1

The formula for the volume of a rectangular pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height.

First, find the base area of the pyramid:

Base area = length * width = 16 miles * 16 miles = 256 square miles

Then plug the values into the formula:

V = (1/3) * 256 * 8 = 683.17 cubic miles

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is approximately 683.17 cubic miles.
