Sagot :

hello

to find the volume of the figure, we need to know the formula of a pyramid with a square base

once we know that, we can proceed to simply substitute the values into the equation

[tex]\begin{gathered} \text{volume}=\frac{1}{3}\times l^2\times h \\ l=\text{side length} \\ h=\text{height} \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} l=10m \\ h=7.2m \end{gathered}[/tex][tex]\begin{gathered} \text{volume}=\frac{1}{3}\times10^2\times7.2 \\ \text{volume}=\frac{100\times7.2}{3} \\ \text{volume}=240m^3 \end{gathered}[/tex]

the volume of the figure is 240m^3
