Answer:

16,500 m

Explanation:

The volume formula for a pyramid such as this is:

Volume = 1/3 x area of base x height

First let's find the area of the base (which in this example is a rectangle)

Our base dimensions are 60 m x 15 m

60 x 15 = 900

Our height is 55 m.

V = 1/3 x 900 x 55

Multiply the 900 by 1/3 first (or divide it by 3)

V = 300 x 55

V = 16,500 m

Our final answer is 16,500 m.
