    If the base of the prism is five an all sides with a height of 15 the volume would be 375 for the prism

    if the pyramid has a base width and length of five, like the prism, it would have a volume of 25

    the whole shape/construct together has a volume of 400ft^3

    The volume of the prism is

    V = Bh

    where B is the area of the base, (5 ft) ² = 25 ft², and h is the height, 15 ft.

    The volume of the pyramid is

    V = (1/3) Bh

    where B is the area of the base, 25 ft², and h is the height, 3 ft.

    The total volume is the sum of these:

    V = Bh₁ + (1/3) bh₂

    V = B (h₁ + (1/3) h₂)

    V = (25 ft²) · (15 ft + (1/3) · (3 ft))

    V = (25 ft²) · (16 ft) = 400 ft³
