Given:

The base area of pyramid is, A = 48 square feet.

The height of the pyramid is, h = 5 feet.

The objective is to find the volume of the pyramid.

The volume of the pyramid can be calculated as,


V=\text{Area}\cdot\text{Height}

Now, substitute the given values in the above formula.


\begin{gathered} V=48\cdot5 \\ =240ft^3 \end{gathered}

Hence, the volume of the pyramid is 240 cubic feet.
