The triangular prism and the triangular pyramid shown have the same base and the same height. Use the drop-down menus to complete the equation comparing the volumes of the figures.

Answer 1

A triangular prism Vol. = area (A) of the triangular base × height (h) of prism
A triangular pyramid V = A × 1/3 h
