Which figure has a greater volume, and how much greater is it? 2 figures. One figure has a rectangular prism with length of 36 f
eet, width of 21 feet, and height of 18 feet. The rectangular pyramid has a base of 36 feet by 21 feet, and height of 9 feet. The other figure has a rectangular prism with length of 36 feet, width of 21 feet, and height of 18 feet. A triangular prism has a triangular base with base of 36 feet and height of 9 feet. The prism has a height of 21 feet. The volume of figure 1 is 972 feet cubed greater than the volume of figure 2. The volume of figure 2 is 972 feet cubed greater than the volume of figure 1. The volume of figure 1 is 1,134 feet cubed greater than the volume of figure 2. The volume of figure 2 is 1,134 feet cubed greater than the volume of figure

Answer:
The volume of figure 1 is 11340 ft^3 greater than figure 2
Step-by-step explanation:
For rectangular prism, volume is
V = lenght x width x height
V = 36 x 21 x 18 = 13608 ft^3
For rectangular pyramid, volume is
V = (lenght x width x height) ÷ 3
V = (36 x 21 x 9) ÷3 = 6804/3 =2268 ft^3
Difference in volume = 11340 ft^3
