A rectangular pyramid has a height of 6 units and a volume of 40 units3. Shannon states that a rectangular prism with the same base area and height has a volume that is three times the size of the given rectangular pyramid. Which statement explains whether Shannon is correct?

A rectangular prism in which BA = 20 and h = 6 has a volume of 40 units3; therefore, Shannon is incorrect.
A rectangular prism in which BA = 6.67 and h = 6 has a volume of 40 units3; therefore, Shannon is incorrect.
A rectangular prism in which BA = 20 and h = 6 has a volume of 120 units3; therefore, Shannon is correct.
A rectangular prism in which BA = 6.67 and h = 6 has a volume of 120 units3; therefore, Shannon is correct.

Answer:

The first statement is true so Shannon is incorrect.

Step-by-step explanation:

Volume of the pyramid with base  20 and h = 6

= 1/3 * base area * height

= 1/3 * 20 * 6

= 40 unit^3.
