To find the volume of a pyramid, you can use the formula:
Volume = (1/3) * base area * height
First, find the area of the base, which is a rectangle in this case. The area of a rectangle is length * width. So, the area of the base is 8mm * 5mm = 40mm^2.
Now, plug in the values into the volume formula:
Volume = (1/3) * 40mm^2 * 18mm = 240mm^3
Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid is 240 mm^3.
