Answer:


\large\boxed{V=75\ in^3}

Explanation:

The formula ogf a volume of a pyramid:


V=(1)/(3)BH

B - area of a base

H - height

We have a base length a = 5 in and a height H = 9 in.

In the base we have a square. The formula of an area of a square is:


B=a^2

Substitute:


B=5^2=25\ in^2

Calculate the volume:


V=(1)/(3)(25)(9)=(25)(3)=75\ in^3
