The base of a pyramid covers an area of 13.3 acres (1 acre = 43,560 ft2) and has a height of 473 ft. if the volume of a pyramid is given by the expression v = bh/3, where b is the area of the base and h is the height, find the volume of this pyramid in cubic meters.

V = 43560 * 473 / 3 = 6867960 cu feet

1 cubic meter = 35.315 cu ft

Volume of the pyramid = 6867960 / 35.315 = 194,477.13 cubic meters
