The drawing looks (sort of) like this:
\n" ); document.write( "\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "The prism has the diagonals of all its 6 faces marked.
\n" ); document.write( "Those diagonals split each rectangular face of the prism into two congruent right triangles,
\n" ); document.write( "with each of those triangles being half of a rectangular face of the prism.\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "Slicing along those diagonals,
\n" ); document.write( "they cut off 4 pyramids out of 4 corners of the prism,
\n" ); document.write( "to leave pyramid ACFH.
\n" ); document.write( "The volume of each of the pyramids cut off is \"1%2F6\" of the volume of the prism.
\n" ); document.write( "After removing \"4%281%2F6%29=2%2F3\" of the volume of the prism,
\n" ); document.write( "they are left with \"1-2%2F3=1%2F3\" of the volume of the prism.
\n" ); document.write( "Since the volume of the prism (in cubic units) is \"2%2A3%2A5\" ,
\n" ); document.write( "the volume left (the volume of ACFH) is
\n" ); document.write( "\"2%2A3%2A5%2F3=2%2A5=highlight%2810%29\" .
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
