    1/2 inches

    Step-by-step explanation:

    Volume of a pyramid: (LWH) / 3

    Volume of a rectangular prism: L*W*H

    So if the volumes of both shapes are equal then

    (lwh) / 3=lwh

    Lets substitute the numbers give in the problem into the formula

    6*4/3=8*2*h

    24/3=16h

    8=16h

    Divide both sides by 16

    8/16=h

    1/2=h
