Answer:
V\text{ = }66.7m^3Explanations:

The volume of a square based pyramid is given by the formula:


\begin{gathered} V\text{ = }(a^2h)/(3) \\ \text{where V is the volume } \\ a\text{ is the }base\text{ edge} \\ \text{and h is the height} \end{gathered}
\begin{gathered} V\text{ = }(5^2*8)/(3) \\ V\text{ = }(25*8)/(3) \\ V\text{ = }(200)/(3) \\ V\text{ = }66.7m^3 \end{gathered}
