Answer 1

Answer: $41.67\ in.^3$

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

The side of the square base is 5 inches

height of the pyramid is 5 inches

The volume of a square pyramid is

$V=\dfrac{1}{3}a^2h$

Putting the values

$\Rightarrow V=\dfrac{1}{3}\times 5^2\times 5\\\\\Rightarrow V=41.67\ in.^3$

The pyramid contains $41.67\ in.^3$ of wood
