The volume of a rectangular pyramid is calculated using the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
The base area of the pyramid is the area of the square base, which is 12m * 12m = 144m^2.
Using the formula V = (1/3) * 144m^2 * 10m = 480 m^3.
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 480 m^3.
