Answer 5

V = 1 over 3(B)(h)

Answer 6

V = 1/3*Bh where B is the base area

Answer 7

im not sure

Answer 8

volume of pyramid is 1/3 the volume of the cube
because wow i can explain this one
B = length * width and because the cube fits then the length and the width are equal
the height is also the same as the cube since the cube fits
the volume of pyramid is 1/3 *(l^2)*l = 1/3*l^3
volume of the cube is l^3 for a cube all the sides are equal
l = length

Answer 9

correction the pyramid fits inside the cube

Answer 10

volume of pyramid = 1/3 volume of cube = 1/3*54 = 18
