How does the volume of a pyramid compare to the volume of a prism?

• The formulas for these two shapes are nothing alike.

• These shapes are two dimension and we can not measure volume of two dimensional shapes.

• The volume formulas are the same so they will always hold the same amount if they have the same base and the same height.

• The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the prism. If they were the same height and had the same base, the volume of the prism is three times (it would take three of whatever is in the cone to fill up the cylinder) more than the volume of the pyramid.
