The 350 square meters of lateral surface area is four congruent triangles, each with height 25m. If the side length of the square base is x, then
The side length of the square base is 7m.
The volume of a pyramid is
where B is the area of the base and h is the height.
We know the area of the base is 49 square meters.
You can find the height using a right triangle with the height of the pyramid as one leg, half the diagonal of the square base (which you now know) as the other leg, and the given slant height as the hypotenuse.
You can finish the problem from there.
In my opinion the answer choices are not very good, as the actual volume is very nearly halfway between two of the choices.
