mm³

Answer 1

The volume of the pyramid is 566.7 mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

To calculate the volume of a pyramid, we use the formula V = 1/3 * Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height of the pyramid.

In this case, the base of the pyramid is a square with sides of 10 mm, so the area of the base is 10 * 10 = 100 mm².

The height of the pyramid is given as 17 mm.

Plugging these values into the formula, we get V = 1/3 * 100 mm² * 17 mm = 566.7 mm³.

Rounding to the nearest tenth, the volume of the pyramid is approximately 566.7 mm³.
