Answer 1

Recalls that the formula for the volume of a pyramid is given by the product of the area of its base times the height, and all of that divided by 3

Then we start by calculating the area of the base:

Since the base is a rectangle of 3in by 5in, then its area is 15 square inches.

Now this area times the pyramid's height and divided by 3 gives:

Volume = AreaBase x Height / 3

Volume = 15 x 16 / 3 = 80 in^3 (eighty cubic inches)

Then, please just type the number 80 in the provided box (notice that the cubic inches unit is already written on the right of it.
