Answer:

630 cm³

Step-by-step explanation:

The general formula for the volume of a prism is:

V = Bh, where 'B' is the area of the base and 'h' is the height of the prism

The general formula for the volume of a pyramid is:

V = [tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex]Bh, where 'B' is the area of the base and 'h' is the height of the pyramid

Since the only difference between these two formulas is the pyramid is 1/3 of the size, to find the volume a rectangular prism with the same measurements as a rectangular pyramid for its base and height:

Pyramid  = 210 cm³

Prism = 210 x 3 = 630 cm³
