Answer:

  28.5 ft³

Step-by-step explanation:

The side length of the base is 1/4 of the perimeter, so is ...

  s = (10.1 ft)/4 = 2.525 ft

The area of the square base is the square of the side length, so is ...

  B = s² = (2.525 ft)² = 6.375625 ft²

The volume is given by ...

  V = 1/3Bh . . . . . where h is the height

  V = 1/3(6.375625 ft²)(13.4 ft) ≈ 28.4778 ft³

The volume of the pyramid is about 28.5 ft³.
