mm3

Answer 1

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

First, calculate the base area of the rectangular pyramid:
Base area = length * width = 8 mm * 5 mm = 40 mm^2

Then, plug in the base area and the height into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 40 mm^2 * 18 mm = 1/3 * 720 mm^3 = 240 mm^3

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 240 mm^3.
