Question

True or false the volume of a pyramid is 1/2 the volume of a prism with equal height and base​

Answer 1

Answer:

If a pyramid and a prism have the same base and height, their volumes are always in the ratio of

1:3

As volume of prism is 108 cubic meters,

volume of pyramid is

1/3 × 108 = 36 cubic meters.

Answer 2

Answer:

The given statement is wrong. The volume of a pyramid is $\frac{1}{3} {rd}$ the volume of the prism with equal height and base.

Step-by-step explanation:

Given statement: the volume of a pyramid is $\frac{1}{2} {th}$ the volume of a prism with equal height and base.

The given statement is wrong since the volume of a pyramid is $\frac{1}{3} {rd}$ the volume of the prism with equal height and base

The volume of the prism is base area x height.

The volume of the pyramids is ⅓ x base area x height

The volume of the pyramid is ⅓rd of the volume of the prism

Hence the given statement is wrong.
