The volume of a rectangular prism with a congruent base and height to the rectangular pyramid would also be 10 cm3.
no it wont
My apologies for the mistake in my previous response.
If the rectangular pyramid has a volume of 10 cm3, and the base and height of the rectangular prism are congruent to that of the pyramid, then the volume of the rectangular prism will be 20 cm3.
The reason for this is that the volume of a rectangular pyramid is V = (1/3) * base area * height, while the volume of a rectangular prism is V = base area * height.
Since the base area and height are the same for both shapes, the volume of the pyramid will be 1/3 of the volume of the prism, resulting in the volume of the prism being twice that of the pyramid.
