Question

the area of the base of a rectangular prism is 15m2 and the height measures 5m. what is the volume of the pyramid with the same dimensions as the rectangular prism?

Answer 1

V = 25 cm³

Explanation:

the volume (V) of a rectangular prism is calculated as

V = Ah ( A is the area of the base and h the height )

V = 15 × 5 = 75 cm³

the volume of the pyramid is one third the volume of the prism , then

V = 75 ×
`(1)/(3)` = 25 cm³
