Answer 1

Answer: Its C i just took the test

Answer 2

If two pyramid have the same height , for volume to be the same the base area of the pyramids should be equal

Explanation:

Volume of a pyramid is given by;

`V=l*w*h /3`

where l is length of base, w is width of base, and h is height of base

If two pyramid have the same height , for volume to be the same the base area of the pyramids should be equal

The base area= l×w

For example if we have two pyramids A and B with the following properties;

A= height= x , length=l₁ and width = w₁

B= height=x, length=l₂ and width = w₂

Then the volume of the two pyramid will be the same if;

l₁*w₁=l₂*w₂

Thus

V₁= (l₁*w₁*x )/3 = (l₂*w₂*x)/3
