Answer:

The volume is
12000 in^3

Explanation:

From the question ,


L= 60\:in. and
H=10\:in.

The volume of a pyramid is given as


V=(1)/(3) * area\:of\:the\:base * height

From the question, the base of the pyramid is a square.

Hence base area is given by
L^(2)

This implies that the volume of the pyramid is


=(1)/(3) * L^(2)* H


=(1)/(3)* 60^(2) * 10


=(36000)/(3)


=12000 in^3
