Question

A square prism has a base length of 5 m, and a square pyramid of the same height also has a base length of 5 m. Are the volumes the same?

A. Yes, because the heights are the same, and the cross-sectional areas at every level parallel to the bases are also the same.
B. Yes, because the figures are congruent.
C. No, because only the bases have the same area, not every cross section at every level parallel to the bases.
D. No, because the heights are not the same.

Not quite. The above means the volume of the pyramid is 2/3 the volume of the prism.

This is correct:
"so pyramid with same height and base area will be 1/3 the volume of the square prism"
