Answer:

90 cubic inches

Step-by-step explanation:

The formula for a triangular pyramid is 1/3AH. A is the area of the base. H is the height of the pyramid. So to find the area of a right triangle, you would use the formula (a x b)/2. So (10 x18)/2 is 90 inches^2. Now you can fill in the first formula. 1/3(90 x 14), which equals 420 inches^3.

V = 1/3 · area of base · height

V = 1/3 · 18 · 15

V = 6 · 15

V = 90

I hope you find this helpful (if correct.)
