I got the volume of Pyramid A:

Pyramid A's volume is 972
because V = Base side length^2 x h/3
V = 18^2 x 9/3 = 972.

divide the smaller number by the larger number then multiply that by 100 and round if needed

anonymous · Answer

972/3136 = 0.30994898 x 100 = 30.99. So would it be 31% or 30%?
