Question

There is a rectangular prism and pyramid with congruent bases and height. If the volume of the pyramid is 48 in.³
, what is the volume of the prism? (1 point)
• 24 in.³
• 144 in.³
• 16 in.³
• 96 in.³

Answer 1

The volume of a pyramid is given by the formula V = (1/3)Bh, where B is the area of the base and h is the height.

Since the pyramid and prism have congruent bases and height, the volume of the prism will be three times the volume of the pyramid. Therefore, the volume of the prism is 3*48 = 144 in.³.

So, the correct answer is:
• 144 in.³
