Question

If the bases and heights of a prism and a pyramid are the same and the volume of the prism is 27 cubit units, what is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

9 cubit units

Explanation:

Vpyramid = 1/3 x Vprism

If a pyramid and a prism have the same base and height, their volumes are always in the ratio of 1:3

As volume of prism is 27 cubic meters,

volume of pyramid is 1/3*27 =9

.

Answer 2

9 unit^3.

Explanation:

The Volume of a prism is area of the base * height.

The volume of a pyramid = 1/3 * the area of the base * height.

So the volume of the pyramid in the quest ion is 1/3 * 27 = 9 unit^3.
