By using figure
AB = 25 cm (base one side)
AD = 18 cm (base other side)
AS = 17 cm (slant edge)
Now
AO = Sqrt (AP^2 + OP^2) = Sqrt (9^2 + 12^2) = 15 cm (O is base centre and P is AD centre)
AS^2 = AO^2 + OS^2 (S is top point of pyramid)
then OS = Sqrt 64 = 8
height = 8
Volume = 1/3*18*24*8 = 1152 cm^2
