Answer:

If the volume of the prism is 240 cubic inches, what is the area of the base?

Step-by-step explanation:

Answer = 40 square inches D.

The volume of the prism is area of the base times height. The height of the rectangle is 6 inches. Therefore,

V = (area of base)(h)

240= 6a

h = 40 square inches

The volume of the pyramid would be 80 cubic centimeters. The reason for this is because the formula for volume of a pyramid is 1/3bh, so if all the dimensions are the same for both figures, just divide the volume of the prism by three to find the volume of the pyramid. If you do this 240÷3=80 or the volume of the pyramid.
