The area of an oblique pyramid is one-third of the product of the area of the base and its height.

Thus, we substitute the values of the dimensions to the following equation.

$\begin{gathered} V=(1)/(3)Ah \\ V=(1)/(3)LW\text{h} \\ V=(1)/(3)(16)(3)(10) \end{gathered}$

Simplify the expression by cancelling out the 3 from the numerator and the denominator. Thus, we get the following.

$\begin{gathered} V=16(10) \\ V=160 \end{gathered}$

Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 160 in³.
