Drag the correct expression into each placeholder to complete the three volume formulas.
Rectangular Solid: \(V = \) (1) (length × width × height)
Prism: \(V = \) (2) (area of base × height)
Pyramid: \(V = \dfrac{1}{3}\) × (3) (one-third of the product of base area and height)
Please drag and drop the selected option in the right place or type it instead
lwh
Bh
Bh
Correct Answer
(1) lwh
(2) Bh
(3) Bh
Explanation
The three formulas: Rectangular solid: \(V = lwh\). Prism: \(V = Bh\) where \(B\) is the area of the base. Pyramid: \(V = \frac{1}{3}Bh\). The pyramid's formula is exactly one-third that of a prism with the same base and height.
