7 Points: What is the volume of this rectangular pyramid?
_______ cubic yards

Answer 1

5 yards

The volume V of a pyramid is one-third the area of the base B times the height h .

`volume \: = (1)/(3) * base * height`

`(1)/(3) * 5 * 3 = 5yards`

Answer 2

25 cubic yards

Explanation:

`\large\text{volume of a rectangular pyramid} =(1)/(3) * \text{base} * \text{height}`

`=(1)/(3) * \left( 5* 5\right) * 3`

`=(1)/(3) * \left( 25\right) * 3`

`=(1)/(3) * \left( 75\right) =(75)/(3) =25`
