The formula for the volume of a triangular pyramid is:
V=1/3AH (where A=area of the base and H=height)
The formula for the volume of a triangular prism is:
V=AH (where A=area of the base and H=Height)
Since the base and the height are the same in this problem for both the prism and the pyramid, solving for the volume of the prism is simple.
Looking at the formulas, you'll see that the volume of the pyramid (assuming that both the height and the area of the base are the same) is 1/3 the volume of the prism.
V(pyramid)=1/3V(prism)
Now lets input the volume of the pyramid
26cm³=1/3 V(prism) Divide both sides by 1/3 78cm³=V(prism)
1st Avenue would be more difficult because it’s rise and run is for every one foot forward it is 3 feet up. Meanwhile avenue 16th would start at (3,1) and the rise and run would be for every 3 feet it would go up 1 foot.
