Answer:

Three times

Step-by-step explanation:

Given

Figures: Rectangular Prism and Rectangular Pyramid

Let the dimension of the prism be:

l = length

w = width

h = height

Amount of sand used is the volume (V1) and it is calculated using;

V_1 = l * w * h

V_1 = lw h

Since the pyramid has the same base area and height as the prism, the its dimension would be:

l = length

w = width

h = height

Amount of sand used is the volume (V2) and it is calculated using;

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)

So, we have:

V_1 = lw h

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}*(lwh)

Substitute lwh for V1 in the second equation

V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1

Multiply both sides by 3

3 * V_2 = \frac{1}{3}V_1 * 3

3 * V_2 = V_1

Reorder

V_1 = 3 * V_2

V_1 = 3 V_2

<em>Hence, the amount of sand used in building the prism is three times the amount of sand used in building the pyramid</em>
