Answer:

275 m^3

Explanation:

The volume of a triangular pyramid is V=(1/3)Ah, where A is the area of the triangular base and h is the height.

First, let's find A, the area of the base. The area of a triangle is bh/2, where b is the base and h is the height.

In this question, 5 is the base and 15 is the height, so A=5*15/2=75/2.

Now we know A is 75/2, so let's go back to the formula for the volume of a pyramid. We are given h is 22, so

V=(1/3)(75/2)*22=275
