300 cubic feet

Explanation:

Answer 2

First we calculate surface of base.

10 * 6 = 60 feet^2

The Volume of pyramid is calculated by formula:
V = B*H/3

H- height of pyramid
B- surface of base of pyramid

We have both of those so all we have to do is to finish calculation:

V = 60*15/3 = 300 feet^3

Answer is 300 qubic feets
