Answer : The correct option is, (B) 1500 cubic yards.

Step-by-step explanation :

Formula used to calculate the volume of square pyramid is:


V=(a^2* h)/(3)

where,

V = volume of pyramid

a = base edge of pyramid

h = height of pyramid

Given:

Base edge of pyramid = 15 yards

Height of pyramid = 20 yards

Now putting all the given values in the above formula, we get:


V=(a^2* h)/(3)


V=\frac{(15\text{ yrads})^2* (20\text{ yards})}{3}


V=1500\text{ yards}^3

Therefore, the volume of pyramid is 1500 cubic yards.
