    Directions: Solve the following problems. Write your solutions neatly and legibly in
    short bond papers. For all problems, draw the concerned figures as part of your
    solution with corresponding proper notations/symbols of the given and required
    quantities/variables. Simplify all answers and write them with correct units. Avoid
    erasures. (8 points each)

    NOTE: We may have different notations for the required quantities but that’s okay.
    1. Find the volume of a pyramid if the altitude is 12 inches and the base is a regular hexagon
    4 inches on a side.

    What is the ratio of the volume of pyramid 𝑉 − 𝐿𝐶𝐾 to that of pyramid 𝑉 − 𝐴𝐵𝐶𝐷?

    The ratio of the volumes of the two pyramids depends on their bases. A geometric
    theorem is useful for this problem which states that
