Answer:

[tex]V=186.1\ m^3[/tex]

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of a Pyramid

The volume of a pyramid with base area Ab and height H is given by:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{A_b*H}{3}[/tex]

If the base is a square of side length L, then its area is:

[tex]A_b=L^2[/tex]

Thus, substituting the above equation in the first:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{L^2*H}{3}[/tex]

The side length is L=10.9 m and the height is 4.7 m, thus the volume is:

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{10.9^2*4.7}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\displaystyle V=\frac{558.407}{3}[/tex]

[tex]\boxed{V=186.1\ m^3}[/tex]
