The formula for the volume of a pyramid:

(1)/(3) * base * height

In this case,th volume would be:
1/3×15.2×10.9
=76/15×10.9
≈55.2 cm^3

Hope it helps!

Since the pyramid has a square base, that means the product length and width is15.2cm, and the height is 10.9. The formula for the volume of a pyramid with a square base is
(lwh)/(3) So, we plug in
(15.2*10.9)/(3) You will get an answer of 55.2 cm^3
