Answer: 25 in³
Step-by-step explanation:
We can calculate the volume of the pyramid by first calculating the volume of a prism with the same dimensions, and then dividing by 3 (all pyramids a volume that's [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] of the volume of a prism with the same dimensions).
The volume of a prism is its base area times its height. The base would be a square, so its area is 5², which is 25. The height is 3 inches, making the prism's volume 75 in³.
The volume of the pyramid would be one-third of this value, which is 75[tex]75\div3[/tex] which is 25 in³.
