Answer:

25 yd³

Explanation:

Here, the base is a rectangle, so its area is the product of its length and width:

B = (5 yd)(3 yd) = 15 yd²

__

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is ...

V = 1/3Bh

where B is the area of the base, and h is the height.

The height is given in the diagram as 5 yd, so the volume is ...

V = 1/3(15 yd²)(5 yd) = 25 yd³

The volume of the pyramid shown is 25 yd³.
