In this picture, we are seeing the base of a pyramid and a prism.

Notice that both bases appear to be squares.

The bases seem to be congruent: same shape, same size.

Volumes of Pyramids

Replace with sub-header

Notice now that the pyramid and prism not only have the same base (squares that are the same size)...
But the prism and the pyramid have the same height!

Prism vs. Pyramid

Replace with sub-header

So here's the question...

How many pyramids will it take to "fill up" the prism?
