What is the volume of a rectangular pyramid that measures 5 miles in height and 7 miles in the base edge.
To find the volume of a rectangular pyramid, you can use the formula:
V = (1/3) * B * h
Where V is the volume, B is the area of the base, and h is the height of the pyramid.
First, calculate the area of the base:
Base Area = 7 miles * 7 miles = 49 square miles
Now, plug in the values into the formula:
V = (1/3) * 49 square miles * 5 miles
V = (1/3) * 245 square miles
V = 81.6667 cubic miles
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is approximately 81.67 cubic miles.
