A rectangular prism has a square base with a width of 6 and a volume of 360 cm3. If a square pyramid has a base with the same width and height, what is the volume of the pyramid? Round to the nearest tenth.

Respuesta :

The volume of the square pyramid is the one-third of the square prism with same height and base area. Then the volume of the pyramid will be 120 cubic cm.

What is the volume of the pyramid?

Suppose the base of the pyramid has length = L units, width = W units, slant height = K units, and the height of the pyramid is of H units.

Then the volume of the pyramid will be

V = (L × B × H) / 3

The volume of the square prism will be

V = (L × B × H)

Then the volume of the square pyramid is the one-third of the square prism with same height and base area.

[tex]\rm V_{pyramid} = \dfrac{V_{prism} }{3}[/tex]

A rectangular prism has a square base with a width of 6 and a volume of 360 cm³.

If a square pyramid has a base with the same width and height.

Then the volume of the pyramid will be

V = 360 / 3

V = 120 cubic cm
