Answer:

906 in³

Explanation:

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula ...

V = 1/3Bh

where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid. Here, the base is a triangle. The formula for its area is ...

A = 1/2bh

where b is the base of the triangle and h is the triangle height.

__

Triangle area:

A = 1/2(19 in)(13 in) = 123.5 in²

Pyramid volume:

V = 1/3(123.5 in²)(22 in) = 905 2/3 in³

V ≈ 906 in³

The volume of the triangular pyramid is about 906 in³.
