Question

Given a cube with a volume of 36 cm3, what is the volume of a square pyramid that can fit perfectly inside the cube?

Answer 1

Area of cube (prism) = area of base * height
Area of pyramid = area of base * height \(\div\) 3
Hope that helps.

Answer 2

So do I just divide by 3?

Answer 3

6cm

Answer 4

yes, since a pyramid with the same base area and height as a cube is exactly one-third of the volume of the cube.
