A rectangular prism has a volume of 27 in ^3. If a rectangular pyramid has a base and height congruent to the prism, what is the volume of the pyramid?

Answer 1

Since the base and height of the rectangular pyramid are congruent to the rectangular prism, the volume of the rectangular pyramid will be one-third of the volume of the rectangular prism.

Therefore, the volume of the rectangular pyramid will be 27 in^3 ÷ 3 = 9 in^3.
