Question

The pyramid is 17, 8, 10, and 21A prism and a pyramid both have this triangular base. If both shapes have the same height and the volume of the prism is 1,092 cubic units, what is the volume of the pyramid?
(1 point)
• 728 cubic units
• 364 cubic units
• 1,092 cubic units
• 3,276 cubic units

Answer 1

364 cubic units

Since the prism and pyramid have the same base and height, the volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the prism. Therefore, the volume of the pyramid is 1/3 * 1,092 = 364 cubic units.
