A rectangular prism has a height of 12 centimeters and a square base with sides measuring 5 centimeters. A pyramid with the same
base and half the height of the prism is placed inside the prism, as shown in the figure. The volume of the space outside the pyramid but inside the prism is cubic centimeters
We need to calculate V = Vr - Vp V - the <span>volume of the space outside the pyramid but inside the prism Vr - the volume of the rectangular prism. </span>Vp - the volume of the pyramid<span>
Vr = w * l * h w = l = 5 cm h1 = 12 cm Vr = 5 * 5 * 12 = 300 cm</span>³<span>
Vp = w * l * h / 3 w = l = 5 cm h2 = h1/2 = 12/2 = 6 cm Vp = 5 * 5 * 6 / 3 = 50 cm</span>³
