Question

what is the volume of this rectangular pyramid? cubic yards submit

Explanation:

Step1: Find base area

The base is a rectangle with length 10 yd and width 6 yd. Area = length × width = $10×6 = 60$ square yards.

Step2: Identify height

The height of the pyramid (perpendicular to the base) is 12 yd.

Step3: Calculate volume

Volume of rectangular pyramid = $\frac{1}{3}×base\ area×height = \frac{1}{3}×60×12$

Step4: Compute result

$\frac{1}{3}×60×12 = 20×12 = 240$

Answer:

240 cubic yards
