The volume of a rectangular prism is given by the formula: Volume = Base Area x Height
Given that the base area of the prism is 25 in^2 and the volume is 125 in^3, we can set up the equation:
125 = 25 x Height
Solving for Height:
Height = 125 / 25
Height = 5 inches
Since the pyramid has a congruent base and height to the prism, the height of the pyramid is also 5 inches.
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?
