Expressions, Equations, and Relationships>Explaining Volume Relationships Between Triangular Prisms and Pyramids(TEKS.Math.7.8.B) Practice Test

A triangular prism has base area 24 square centimeters and height 9 centimeters, so its volume is 216 cubic centimeters. A triangular pyramid with the same base and height has volume 72 cubic centimeters.

The bases of a triangular prism and a triangular pyramid are congruent with area 30 square meters, and both heights are 12 meters. The prism's volume is 360 cubic meters; the pyramid's volume is 120 cubic meters.
