) If a prism and a pyramid have congruent triangular bases and the same heights, then (1 point)

the volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the size of the volume of the prism.

the volume of the prism is 1/3 the size of the volume of the pyramid.

the volume of the pyramid and the volume of the prism are the same.

the volume of the pyramid is three times as large as the volume of the prism.

1 answer

The correct statement is:

the volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the size of the volume of the prism.

This is based on the formula for the volume of a prism (which is base area multiplied by height) and the formula for the volume of a pyramid (which is 1/3 times the base area multiplied by height). When both have congruent triangular bases and the same height, the volume of the prism will be three times that of the pyramid.
