this past week in math 10 I learned that you can calculate the volume of a prism by taking the volume of a pyramid with the same height and bottom, and multiplying it by 3. this also works to find the volume of a pyramid by taking the volume of a prism with the same height and bottom, and dividing it by 3. from this I learned that formula for the volume of a pyramid is the area of the base, multiplied by the height, all divided by 3 or multiplied by 1/3
