Answer: The volume of the pyramid is measured in cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation: Given that the dimensions of a square pyramid are measured in yards.

We are to find the unit in which the volume of the pyramid is measured.

We know that

the volume of a square pyramid with length of base edge 'a' units and height 'h' units is given by

$V=(1)/(3)a^2h~\textup{cubic units}.$

Here, length of base edge 'a' and the height 'h' of the given square pyramid is measured in yards.

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid will be measured in

$\textup{yards}* \textup{yards}* \textup{yards}\\\\=\textup{cubic yards}.$

Thus, the volume of the square pyramid is measured in cubic yards.
