The volume of the pyramid is
Explanation:
It is given that the base of the pyramid is a right triangle.
The formula to determine the volume of the pyramid is given by
where l is the base length of the pyramid,
w is the base width of the pyramid and
h is the height of the pyramid.
From the figure, we can see that,
, and
Substituting these values in the formula , we have,
Multiplying the numerator, we get,
Dividing, we get,
Thus, the volume of the pyramid is
