The volume of your pyramid is approximately
\(7,066,521,666.7 \ \text{cubic units}\).

How did we get the value?

Let us use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:


\[V = (1)/(3)s^2h\]

Plug in the values:


\[V = (1)/(3)(2410)^2(3650)\]

Now, calculate the result:


\[V = (1)/(3)(5808100)(3650)\]


\[V = (1)/(3)(21,199,565,000)\]


\[V = 7,066,521,666.666 \ \text{cubic units}\]

Therefore, the volume of your pyramid is approximately
\(7,066,521,666.666 \ \text{cubic units}\).
