relationship of vol between rectangular pyramid and prism

Cards (7)

  • rectangular prism - multiply lenght, width and height or V = l x w x h
  • volume refers to the space in a 3d solid. It is measured in cubic units. Centimeters or meters
  • cubic centimeters - (cu cm or cm 3)
    cubic meters - ( cu m or m3)
  • 3 edges - length, width and height
  • when a prism and pyramid have the same base and height, the volume of the pyramid is 1/3 of the volume of a prism
  • to get 1/3 divide the n to 3
  • solve, a rectangular prisms length is 10 m, width is 3 m and the height is 4, if the rectangular pyramid has the same base and height as the prism, what is the answer? explain
    v - l x w x h / v - 10 x 3 x 4 = 120
    120 divided by 3 = 40
    • 40 cu m
