A pyramid has a height of 481 $\mathrm{ft}$ , and its base covers an area of 13.0 acres (Fig. Pl.18). The volume of a pyramid is given by the expression $V=\frac{1}{3} B h,$ where $B$ is the area of the base and $h$ is the height. Find the volume of this pyramid in cubic meters. ( 1 acre $=43560 \mathrm{ft}^{2} )$
