Answer:

80 cm^3 = V

Explanation:

The volume of a rectangular pyramid of base area A and height h is

V = (1/3)(base)(height).

Given that the dimensions of the base are L = 10 cm and W = 4 cm, the base area is 40 cm^2.

The height of the pyramid is h = 6 cm.

Therefore the volume of this particular pyramid is

V = (1/3)(40 cm^2)(6 cm), or V = 80 cm^3
