Step-by-step explanation:

The length of the pyramid is 7.5 feet.

What is a pyramid with rectangular base?

'A rectangular pyramid is a type of pyramid with the base shaped like a rectangle but the sides are shaped like a triangle. A pyramid usually has triangular sides but with different bases.'

According to the given problem,

Volume = 60 cubic feet

Height = 6 feet

Width of rectangular base = 4 feet

Let the length be x,

Volume =[tex]\frac{L * W * H}{3}[/tex]

⇒ 60 = [tex]\frac{x*6*4}{3}[/tex]

⇒ 180 = 24x

⇒ x = [tex]\frac{180}{24}[/tex]

⇒ x =[tex]\frac{45}{6}[/tex] = 7.5

Hence, we can conclude that the value of the length of the rectangular base is 7.5 feet.
