Do you want to find the height of the box using the volume formula or using right triangle math/pythagorean theorem?

OpenStudy (anonymous):

i guess the first one

OpenStudy (anonymous):

the regular prism has sides of 5 and 6 inches. those must be the rectangular base. you haven't given the height. the base area is 5 * 6 = 30 square inches. the volume of the prism is equal to 30 * h. the volume of a rectangular pyramid is equal to 1/3 * 30 * h. looks like you can make 3 pyramids that would equal the same height and base of the rectangular prism. this is because 3 * 1/3 * 30 * h is equal to 30 * h which is the volume of the rectangular prism.
