<span>Answers:
(A) </span>Scale factor = 5/6 or 0.833
(B) Area ratio is 25:36
(C) Volume ratio is 125:216
(D) Volume of smaller pyramid = 9375m^3


<span>Explanation:
A) The formula for the scale factor for pyramids is:
Scale factor = Height of small pyramid/Height of large pyramid
</span>Scale factor <span>= 25/30 
</span>Scale factor <span>= 5/6 or 0.833

B) </span><span> The ratio of the area of the base of the smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid = (25)^2/(30)^2 </span><span>
Hence area ratio is 25:36

C) </span><span>Ratio of the volume of the smaller pyramid to the larger = (25)^3/(30)^3
</span><span>
Therefore volume ratio is 125:216

D) Volume of smaller pyramid is 125/216 times the volume of the larger pyramid, from above,

Therefore volume of smaller pyramid=</span>125/216 * 16200 = 9375m^3
