Answer:

= 868.1ft^3

Explanation:

Volume of the square based pyramid = BH/3

B is the base area

H is the height of the pyramid

Base area = Length * Length

Base area = 14.1*14.1

BAse area = 198.81ft^2

Height = 13.1feet

Substitute

Volume = 198.81*13.1/3

Volume of the pyramid = 868.1ft^3

Hence the volume of a pyramid with the square base is 868.1ft^3
