Question

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 12 inches and a height of 8 inches. Pyramid B is a square pyramid with a base side length of 24 inches and a height of 16 inches. How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A?

Answer 1

show your attempt at solving this on your own

Answer 2

Area of the base * Height * 1/3
V(A) = 12*8*1/3
V(A)=31.97

V(B)=24*16*1/3
V(B)=127.9

Not sure what to do after this part.

Answer 3

Answer 4

The formula for pyramid's volume is (LxWxH) /3
in this case length and width is the same because of the square base

Answer 5

fix the volumes of pyramids A and B. Then divide the bigger volume by the smaller volume.

Lemme know if you got the answer : D

Answer 6

V(A) = 12^2*8*1/3
V(A)=383.96

V(B) = 24^2*16*1/3
V(B) = 3,071.97


3,071.97/383.96= 8

Answer 8

Yes, great! :)

Answer 9

V(A) is 8 times smaller than v(b)
Though I suggest you round answers to 384 and 3072
