A rectangular prism has a base area of 25 in.2 and a volume of 125 in.3 . If a rectangular pyramid has a congruent base and height congruent to the prism, what is the height of the pyramid

Answer 1

Since the base area of the prism is 25 in^2 and the volume is 125 in^3, we can find the height of the prism by dividing the volume by the base area:

Height of prism = Volume / Base area
Height of prism = 125 in^3 / 25 in^2
Height of prism = 5 in

Since the pyramid has a congruent base and height as the prism, the height of the pyramid is also 5 in.
