Question

The volume of a pyramid is 50mm^3. What is the volume of a prism that has a congruent base

and is the same height as the pyramid?

Answer 1

150 mm^3

Explanation:

The formula of a pyramid is

V=1/3(Bh)

The formula for a rectangle is

V=(Bh)

They both have the same Bh, so because the formula of a pyramid states that it's 1/3 of Bh, and 1/3 of Bh = 50, the volume of a whole Bh is 150mm^3.

Hope this makes sense
