Sneezie's Tissues currently packages
tissues in a box shaped like a
rectangular pyramid with length 9
centimeters, width 5 centimeters, and
height 4 centimeters. The design team
would like to change the box to a
rectangular prism with the same base
and height. How many times greater
will the volume be when the box is
changed?


Sagot :

Answer:

  • 3 times

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pyramid:

  • V = lwh/3

Volume of the prism:

  • V = lwh

Since all dimensions remain as is, the volume of the prism is:

  • lwh / (lwh/3) = 3 times greater
