Find the exact volume of the right pyramid pictured.

A pyramid having a base with four sides is illustrated with solid lines forming the base and the edges leading to the apex. The base has two sides adjacent to each other that measures 11 mm. A line is drawn from the apex perpendicular to the base, and this line is measures 7 mm. The line intersects the base at a right angle, indicated by a small square symbol. Dotted lines are used to show edges of the base that are not directly visible from the perspective of the pyramid.
