The volume of the space outside the pyramid but inside the prism is cubic centimeters. NextReset

Answer 1

250

Explanation:

find the volume of the prism which is 300 then the volume of the the pyramid which is 50 so you subtract it and you get 250.

Answer 2

A rectangular prism is a cuboid so volume of cuboid is base area x height which is 5x5x12=300
volume of pyramid is 1/3 x base area x height = 5x5x6x1/3=50 thus volume outside pyramid and inside cuboid is 300-50=250
