    18 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Volume of a pyramid is:

    V = ⅓ Ah

    where A is the area of the base, and h is the height of the pyramid.

    The base is a rectangle. Area of a rectangle is width times length, so:

    V = ⅓ wlh

    Plugging in values and solving:

    1512 = ⅓ w (21) (12)

    w = 18

    The width of the base is 18 inches.
