$35$ meters cubed.

Volume of a pyramid is given by:

$V=1/3bh$

where:

$b$ is the base area of the pyramid

$h$ is the height of the pyramid

So, we get:

$V=1/(color(red)cancelcolor(black)3) *color(red)cancelcolor(black)3 \ "m"*3.5 \ "m"*10 \ "m"$

$=35 \ "m"^3$

$35m^3$

$V=1/3xx"base area"xx"height"$

assuming the base is a rectangle

base area $=3xx3.5=10.5m^2$

$V=1/3xx10.5xx10$

$=35m^3$
