A rectangular pyramid has a volume of 480 in.³ if a rectangle or prism has a base height congruent to the pyramid what is the volume of the prism?
The volume of a rectangular pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3) * base area * height.
Given that the volume of the pyramid is 480 in³, we can rewrite the formula as:
V = (1/3) * base area * height = 480 in³
Since the base area and height of the prism are congruent to that of the pyramid, let's denote the base area as B and the height as H.
So, the volume of the prism will be:
V = B * H = 480 in³
Therefore, the volume of the prism is also 480 in³.
