An illustration shows a rectangular pyramid with length of 7.5 miles, a width of 7 miles, and a perpendicular height of 5 miles. The right and front faces are visible. Edges and faces that are not visible are indicated by dashed lines.
What is the volume of the rectangular pyramid?
(1 point)
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula: 1/3 * base area * height.
Since the base of the pyramid is a rectangle, the base area is length * width.
Base area = 7.5 miles * 7 miles = 52.5 square miles
Now, we can calculate the volume of the pyramid:
Volume = 1/3 * base area * height
Volume = 1/3 * 52.5 square miles * 5 miles
Volume = 87.5 cubic miles
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 87.5 cubic miles.
