Question

A Pyramid is placed inside a prism as shown in the pyramid has the same base area B as a prison but half the height H of the prism which expression gives the volume of the pyramid

Answer 1

V = 1/6 BH

Explanation:

the volume of a pyramid is 1/3 BH , since the pyramid is only half the height of the prism you'll have to multiply 1/3 x 2 = 1/6

Answer 2

D) V= 1/6 bh

Explanation:

The expression that provides the volume of the pyramid is as follows;

As mentioned in the question

It is given that the pyramid put inside a prism

Also the pyramid contains the similar base area but the height is half of the prism

so the base area of the pyramid is b

And, the Height of the pyramid = h ÷ 2

Now as we know that

The volume of the pyramid is

V = 1 ÷3 × base ares × height

= 1 ÷ 3 × b × h ÷ 2

V = 1 ÷ 6 bh

So, the volume is 1 ÷6 bh cube unit.
