Answer:

6.7 ft³

Explanation:

You want the volume of a square pyramid with a perimeter of 7.3 ft and a height of 6 ft.

Side

The side of a square is 1/4 the length of the perimeter, so the side length of the base of the pyramid is ...

s = P/4

s = (7.3 ft)/4 = 1.825 ft

Volume

The volume of the pyramid is given by the formula ...

V = 1/3Bh

where B is the area of the base:

B = s² = (1.825 ft)²

Then the volume is ...

V = 1/3(1.825 ft)²(6 ft) = 6.66125 ft³

The volume of the pyramid is about 6.7 ft³.
