A prism and a pyramid have the same base and the same height. Find the ratio of the volumes of the prism and the pyramid?
Correct Answer: 3 : 1
Explanation:
Volume of the prism = (Area of the base ) x (Height)
Volume of the pyramid = 1/3 (Area of the base ) x (Height)
Required ratio = [A x H] / [(1/3) x A x H]
Therefore, Ratio of the volumes of the prism and the pyramid = 3 : 1.
