Answer:
- The area of the base of the pyramid, B, is 24 cm
- A rectangular prism with the dimensions of 9 cm by 4 cm by 6 cm will have 3 times volume of this pyramid.
Explanation:
Volume of a rectangular based pyramid = 1/3{Base area × Height}
Base Area = Length × Breadth
Volume = 1/3{(Length × Breadth) × Height}
Given a rectangular pyramid with a height of 9 centimeters and a base with the dimensions of 4
centimeters by 6 centimeters
Base Area = 4cm × 6cm
Base area = 24cm²
If Height =9cm
Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 × 24 × 9
Volume = 24 × 3
Volume of the pyramid = 72cm³
If the shape is a prism, the volume will be base area × height
= 24 × 9
= 216cm³
It can be seen that volume of rectangular prism = 3 × volume of rectangular pyramid.
