&lt;font color=&quot;#0000ff&quot; face=&quot;Times New Roman&quot; size=&quot;5&quot;&gt;Volume of a Pyramid&lt;/font&gt;

&lt;table border=&quot;0&quot; width=&quot;100%&quot;&gt;
  &lt;tbody&gt;&lt;tr&gt;
    &lt;td colspan=&quot;3&quot; valign=&quot;TOP&quot;&gt;&lt;p&gt;The volume, &lt;i&gt;V&lt;/i&gt;, of a pyramid in &lt;font color=blue&gt;cubic units&lt;/font&gt; is given by&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;font color=blue&gt;  {{{ V = (1/3)Ah }}}      &lt;/font&gt;&lt;p&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
      &lt;p&gt;where &lt;i&gt;A &lt;/i&gt;is the area of the base and &lt;i&gt;h&lt;/i&gt; is the height of
      the pyramid.&lt;/p&gt;
/***************************/

Since we have a pyramid with a base of 6 ft by 5 ft,
6 * 5 = 30 sq ft, so A = 30
The height = 8 ft, so h = 8
 /***************************/

Our formula now reads {{{ V = (1/3)*30*8 }}} &lt;br&gt;
After doing the math, we see that &lt;b&gt; V = 80 &lt;/b&gt; &amp; bob&#39;s your uncle!</PRE>
