The relationship between the volumes of pyramids and prisms is that when a prism and pyramid have the same base and height, the volume of the pyramid is 1/3 of the volume of the prism.
Adding all of these contributions together shows that in general the volume of a pyramid with a rectangular base is one-third the volume of the rectangular prism with the same base and the same height.

What is the relationship between the volume of prisms and a pyramid?

Volume of a Pyramid As we already saw, the volume of a prism is the area of the base times the height of the prism. The volume of the pyramid has the same base area and height as the prism, but with less volume than the prism. The volume of the pyramid is one third the volume of the prism.

What is the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and of a pyramid with?

This relationship was later recognized to hold in a wide range of figures: a prism with rectangular sides and square or triangular base has three times the volume of a pyramid with like base and height.

What is the relationship between the volume of a rectangular prism and of A?

The Formula for Volume of a Rectangular Prism By multiplying the base area of a prism by its height, you will get the volume of a prism. That is to say, the volume of a prism = base area × height.

What part of the volume of the rectangular prism is the volume of the pyramid?

The volume of a pyramid is one third of the volume of a prism. The base of a cone is a circle and that is easy to see. The lateral surface of a cone is a parallelogram with a base that is half the circumference of the cone and with the slant height as the height.
