The formula for the volume of a pyramid is times the height times the area of the base. If a pyramid is 150 feet high and 250 feet along each side of its square base, what is the pyramid's volume?

\bf \textit{volum of a pyramid}\\\\ V=\cfrac{1}{3}Bh\qquad \begin{cases} B=\textit{area of its base}\\ h=height\\ ----------\\ h=150\\ B=length\cdot width\\ \qquad 250\cdot 250 \end{cases}\implies V=\cfrac{1}{3}(250\cdot 250)(150)
