We want to find the volume of a rectangular pyramid. The base is 18 inches by 30 inches wide. The pyramid's height is 36 inches. We can calculate the volume of a pyramid using the following formula.
V=1/3Bh
Here, B is the area of the base, and h is the height. The base of our pyramid is a 18 inches by 30 inches rectangle. Its area B is a product of these sides, so it equals 18 ( 30) = 540 square inches.
The height h is 36 inches. Let's substitute these values into the formula and calculate V.
The volume of the pyramid is 6480 cubic inches. Out of the given estimates, the volume is closest to 6500 cubic inches. Therefore, answer C is correct.
