Answer:

158.33cm^3

Explanation:

The volume formula for a square based pyramid is:

V=a^2(h/3)

This is where a is the length of the base edge, and h is the height.

That said, given the information in our question, we can simply plug our values in.

V=(5^2)(19/3)

Simplify

V=25(19/3)

V=475/3

V≈158.33

Volume is expressed in cubic units, so our final answer is V=158.33cm^3
