The missing segment of the code illustrates the use of functions.
Functions are also referred to as <em>procedures or methods</em>; they are set of instructions that act as one.
The code segment that complete the code in the question is as follows:
<em>def calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height): </em>
<em> baseArea = length * width </em>
<em> Volume = baseArea * height * 1/3 </em>
<em> return Volume</em>
<em />
<em />
The first line of the code segment declares the function itself
<em>def calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height):</em>
Then, the base area of the pyramid is calculated
<em> baseArea = length * width</em>
Then, the volume of the pyramid is calculated
<em> Volume = baseArea * height * 1/3</em>
Lastly, the volume is returned to the main method
<em> return Volume</em>
So, the complete code (without comments) is:
<em>def calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height): </em>
<em> baseArea = length * width </em>
<em> Volume = baseArea * height * 1/3 </em>
<em> return Volume </em>
<em> </em>
<em>length = float(input()) </em>
<em>width = float(input()) </em>
<em>height = float(input()) </em>
<em>print('Volume for', length, width, height, "is:", calc_pyramid_volume(length, width, height))</em>
<em />
