Question

what is the volume of this rectangular pyramid?
16 yd
15 yd
15 yd
_____ cubic yards
save answer

Explanation:

Step1: Find base area

The base is a square with side length 15 yd. Area formula: $A = s^2$
$A = 15^2 = 225$ square yards

Step2: Apply pyramid volume formula

Volume formula: $V = \frac{1}{3} \times \text{base area} \times \text{height}$
Substitute values: $V = \frac{1}{3} \times 225 \times 16$

Step3: Calculate final volume

First compute $\frac{1}{3} \times 225 = 75$, then $75 \times 16 = 1200$

Answer:

1200 cubic yards
