A rectangular pyramid has a volume of 10 cm3. What is the volume of a rectangular prism given it has a congruent base and height to the pyramid?
Of course! What's your problem?
Since the rectangular pyramid and rectangular prism have congruent bases and heights, their volumes are proportional with a scale factor of 1:3.
This means that the volume of the rectangular prism is 3 times larger than the volume of the pyramid.
So, the volume of the rectangular prism is:
Volume of rectangular prism = 3 x 10 cm^3
Volume of rectangular prism = 30 cm^3
Therefore, the volume of a rectangular prism with a congruent base and height to the given rectangular pyramid is 30 cm^3.

A rectangular pyramid has a volume of 10 cm3. What is the volume of a rectangular prism given it has a congruent base and height to the pyramid?
Since the pyramid and the prism have congruent bases and heights, we can use the formula for the volume of a pyramid, which is one-third the volume of a prism with the same base and height: V = (1/3)Bh.
In this case, the pyramid's volume is 10 cm^3, so we have:
10 = (1/3)Bh
To find the volume of the prism, we just need to multiply both sides of the equation by 3:
10 * 3 = (1/3)Bh * 3
30 = Bh
The volume of the rectangular prism is 30 cm^3.
A prism and pyramid have congruent triangular bases. If their heights are both 15 m, what is the volume of each shape?
pls help
Sure! Let's begin.
The formula for the volume of a prism is:
Volume of prism = base area x height
The formula for the volume of a pyramid is:
Volume of pyramid = (1/3) x base area x height
Since the prism and pyramid have congruent triangular bases and the same height, their volumes will be proportional, with a scale factor of 1:3. This means that the volume of the prism will be three times the volume of the pyramid.
Therefore, we just need to find the volume of one of the shapes and we can use it to find the other.
The area of the triangular base is not given, so we cannot calculate directly the volume of each shape.
Is there any other information given in the problem?
