Since the base and height of the pyramid are congruent to the prism, the volume of the pyramid will be one-third of the volume of the prism (since the volume of a pyramid is one-third of the volume of a prism with the same base and height).
Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 27in / 3 = 9in.
A rectangular prism has a volume of 27in. If a rectangular pyramid has a base and height congruent to the prism, what is the volume of the pyramid?
