Answer:

The total volume of the solid is 1.67 cubic units.

Explanation:

Each pyramid with a height of 2 units and a rectangular base with dimensions of 5 units × 0.25 units.

Therefore, the volume of each pyramid will be
(1)/(3) * \textrm {(Area of base rectangle)} * \textrm {Height}

=
(1)/(3) * (5 * 0.25) * 2 = 0.833 cubic units.

So, the total volume of the solid is (2 × 0.833) = 1.67 cubic units. (Answer)
