Answer:

1529.4 m³

Explanation:

Volume of a pyramid can be found by using the formula


v = (1)/(3) * a * h \\

a is the area of the base

h is the height

Since the base is a square we have


v = (1)/(3) * {15.3}^(2) * 19.6 \\ = 78.03 * 19.6 \\ = 1529.388

We have the final answer as

1529.4 m³

Hope this helps you
