The ratio of the combined volume of these pyramids to the volume of the prism as a fraction is equal to 1/3.

How to calculate the volume of a pyramid?

Mathematically, the volume of a pyramid can be calculated by using this formula:

Volume = 1/3 × b × h

Where:

  • h is the height.
  • b is the base area.

Since both pyramids have the same base area as the prism, their combined volume is given by:

Combined volume = (1/3 × b × h) + (1/3 × b × h)

Combined volume = 2/3 × b × h

Also, the volume of this prism = 1/2 × b × h

Thus, the ratio is given by:

Ratio = (2/3 × b × h)/(1/2 × b × h)

Ratio = 2/3 × 1/2

Ratio = 1/3.
