To find the volume of an oblique pyramid with a rectangular base, you can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid:
[
V = frac{1}{3} times B times h
]
where:
– ( V ) is the volume,
– ( B ) is the area of the base,
– ( h ) is the height of the pyramid (the perpendicular distance from the base to the apex).
To complete the problem, you need the dimensions of the rectangular base (length and width) and the height. Assuming you have those values:
1. Calculate the area of the base ( B ). If the length is ( l ) and the width is ( w ), then:
[
B = l times w
]
2. Insert the area ( B ) and the height ( h ) into the volume formula:
[
V = frac{1}{3} times (l times w) times h
]
Remember to keep your answer in fraction form as required. If you provide the dimensions, I can walk you through the calculations!
