Answer:
$58\ cm^3$

Explanation:

The volume of the oblique pyramid is given by :-

$\text{Volume}=(1)/(3)*base\ area*height$

Given: The height of the pyramid = 7 cm.

The edge length of the square base of oblique pyramid = 5 cm

Thus, the area of the square base =
$(side)^2=5^2=25\ cm^2$

The volume of given oblique will be :-

$\text{Volume}=(1)/(3)*25*7=58.3333\approx58\ cm^3$

Hence, the approximate volume of the pyramid
$=58\ cm^3$
