To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, we can use the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
In the diagram, the base of the pyramid is a rectangle with length 11 meters and width 5 meters.
The area of the base can be found by multiplying the length and width: 11 * 5 = 55 square meters.
Now we can calculate the volume using the formula: V = (1/3) * 55 * 17 = 3135 cubic meters.
None of the given responses match 3135 cubic meters, so none of the options provided are correct.
