    The volume of the pyramid with a square base is equal to 1/3 s^2 h1 where s is the length of the side and h1 is the height. the volume of the prism is s^2 h2. since h1 is 3 times h2, the volume of the pyramid and that of the prism are equal. this is because the 1/3 constant cancels the 3 times enlargement of height
