Answer:

B)The volume of the pyramid is 1/3 the volume of prism

Step-by-step explanation:

We are given that

Bases of rectangular pyramid  and rectangular prism are same

Height of both  rectangular pyramid  and rectangular prism are same.

We know that

Volume of  rectangular pyramid =[tex]\frac{1}{3}bh[/tex]

Where b=Area of base

Volume of rectangular prism=[tex]bh[/tex]

Where b=Area of base

Volume of rectangular pyramid=[tex]\frac{1}{3}[/tex] volume of rectangular prism

Hence, the volume of pyramid is 1/3 times the volume of volume of rectangular prism.

Option  B is true.
