The volume is (area of cross-section) x (length) .

-- The cross-section is a triangle. The area of a triangle is

Area = (1/2) (base) (height) .

In this one, the base is 9/4 m and the height is 3-1/3 m .

Area = (1/2) (9/4 m) (3-1/3 m)

Area = (1/2) (9/4) (10/3)

Area = 90/24 m² .

-- Volume = (area of cross-section) x (length)

Volume = (90/24 m²) x (7-1/3 m)

Volume = (90/24) x (22/3) m³

Volume = (1,980 / 72) m³

Volume = 27.5 m³
