Let ABCDEFGH be a rectangular prism, where EF = 4, EH = 15, and EA = 6. Find the volume of pyramid CFAH.
Let ABCDEFGH be a rectangular prism, where EF = 4, EH = 15 (?), and EA = 6. Find the volume of pyramid CFAH.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
Prism volume = (EF)(EH)(EA) = 360 u3
There are 5 pyramids of which 4 have a volume of 60 u3 each.
The volume of pyramid CFAH = 360 - (4 * 60) = 120 u3
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
If EH = 5 then the volume of a pyramid CFAH = 40 u3
