What is the volume of a pyramid with a square base of side 4 m and a height of 3 m?

Back

Volume = (1/3) * (4 * 4) * 3 = 16 m³.

Front

What is the relationship between the volume of a pyramid and a prism with the same base and height?

Back

The volume of the pyramid is one-third the volume of the prism.
