The volume of a triangular pyramid is one-third the volume of a triangular prism with congruent bases and the same heights.
Volume of triangular pyramid = 1/3 x base area x height
Volume of triangular prism = base area x height
Therefore, the relationship between the volume of the triangular pyramid and the volume of the triangular prism is 1/3.
