We know that

[volume of a rectangular prism]=[area of the base]*h
and
[volume of a pyramid]=[area of the base]*h/3
if both <span>have congruent bases and equal heights
</span>so
[volume of a pyramid]=(1/3)*[volume of a rectangular prism]

<span> The statement is
</span> [volume of a pyramid]=(1/3)*[volume of a rectangular prism]
