Answer:


V = (640)/(3) \text{ ft}^3 OR
213\, (1)/(3) \text{ ft}^3

Explanation:

The formula for the volume of a pyramid is:


V = (1)/(3) \cdot A_{\text{base}} \cdot h

First, we can find the area of the pyramid's base, which is a square.


A_{\text{square}} = (\text{side length})^2


A_{\text{base}} = (8 \text{ ft})^2


A_{\text{base}} = 8 \text{ ft} \cdot 8 \text{ ft}


A_{\text{base}} = 64 \text{ ft}^2

Then, we can plug that value into the above volume formula along with the height shown in the diagram.


V = (1)/(3) \cdot A_{\text{base}} \cdot h


V = (1)/(3) \cdot 64\text{ ft}^2 \cdot 10\text{ ft}


V = (64)/(3) \text{ ft}^2 \cdot 10 \text{ ft}


\boxed{V = (640)/(3) \text{ ft}^3}


\boxed{V=213\, (1)/(3) \text{ ft}^3}
