We can find out what that fraction is by cutting a prism into several pyramids.

How does the volume of a cone relate? What about oblique pyramids (pyramids that lean to the side)? article https://www.khanacademy.org/math/geometry/hs-geo-solids/xff63fac4:hs-geo-cavalieri-s-principle/e/volume-of-prisms-and-pyramids 2026-04-01T19:51:47.642074865Z Volume of prisms and pyramids No matter what shape the base is, if we know the height and the area of the base of prism-like or pyramid-like solids, we can find their volume. exercise
