Question

A rectangular prism and a rectangular pyramid have congruent bases and heights. The prism has a volume of 900 cubic units. One base edge is 5 units and the height of the prism is 10 units. What are the volume and the dimensions of the base of the pyramid? Show your work.

Answer 1

volume= 300u3

Explanation:

Answer 2

The question to your answer is: V = 300 u³

Explanation:

Rectangular prism 900 u³ base = 5 u height = 10 u

Rectangular pyramid = ?

Rectangular prism = V = large x height x width

900 = large x 10 x 5

900 = large x 50

900 / 50 = large

18 = large

Rectangular pyramid = V = 1/3 L x w x h

V = (1/3) 18 x 5 x 10

V = 300 u³
