If the VOLUME is 999 SQUARE inches then you have gone wrong.
SQUARE inches are a measure of AREA
VOLUME is measured in CUBIC units.
Assuming you meant The volume of a prism is 999 CUBIC inches, then the volume of a pyramid with the same height is indeterminate (cannot be given), as there is NO INDICATION of how the height of the pyramid relates to the height of the prism.
So, ASSUMING you mean the volume of a prism is 999 CUBIC inches AND the HEIGHT of the pyramid is the same as the height of the prism, then the volume of the pyramid is one third that of the prism, ie 999 cu in ÷ 3 = 333 CUBIC inches.

∙ 6y agoYou don't express a volume in "square inches". One possibility is that the volume is in cubic inches.If the bases AND the heights are the same, the volume of the pyramid will be 1/3 that of the prism. Otherwise, you will also have to take into account the ratio of the heights.

The volume of the rectangular prism base area 56 in. and height 6 in.?
The base area cannot be 56 inches because 56 inches is NOT a measure of area - it is a measure of distance.If, the base area was 56 SQUARE inches, the area would be 56*6 = 336 CUBIC inches.

What is the volume of a prism that is 4 inches in depth and 7 inches in height and 8 inches in width?
The volume of that prism would be 224 square inches. To calculate this you do:Multiply base times height (width in your case), this equattion is 7x8=56. Now you have your areaNext multiply the area (which was 56 square inches) by the depth (4 square inches). 56x4=224. Your volume is now 224 square inches (or inches squared)
