\n" ); document.write( "a solid cube with a side \"12cm\" has a volume of\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%2812cm%29%5E3=1728cm%5E3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "since the volume of a pyramid is \"1%2F3\" of the volume a solid cube, the volume of a pyramid is \r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( "\"%281%2F3%291728cm%5E3=576cm%5E3\"\r
\n" ); document.write( "\n" ); document.write( " the rest \"2%2F3\" is the volume which was cut away, so \"2%2A576cm%5E3=1152cm%5E3\"
\n" ); document.write( "
