Compare the volume of a square pyramid to the volume of a square prism with the same base and height as the pyramid.

The Volume of the square pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a square prism with the same base and height

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of a square pyramid is given by the formula

V = 1/3 s^2 h

where s is the side length of the base

The volume of a square prism given by the formula

V =  s^2 h

where s is the side length of the base

So dividing the two, taking the pyramid on top

1/3 s^2 h

 s^2 h

If the bases are the same, then the side lengths are the same and we know the heights are the same.  We will cancel them from the top and the bottom.

1/3

1

The Volume of the square pyramid is 1/3 the volume of a square prism with the same base and height

1/8 3/16 3/4

step-by-step explanation:

you put them as all the same denominator and multiply

it would open into a square depending on the type of envelope i’m not sure about the second part
