Pyramid Volume = (Area of the Base * Height) ÷ 3648 = Base Area * 24 / 3Base Area = 648 * 3 / 24Base Area = 648 / 8Base Area = 81Base Length = 9

**********************************************************************************c)
Smaller PyramidHeight 8Surface Area = 124
This pyramid has dimensions that are one third of the larger pyramid.Therefore, it has a base length of 3.Base Area = 9.
Its base perimeter would be 12.
Small Pyramid Volume = (Area of the Base * Height) ÷ 3Small Pyramid Volume = ( 9 * 8 ) / 3Small Pyramid Volume = 72 / 3
c) Small Pyramid Volume =24 cubic meters
d) Ratio of larger pyramid volume to smaller pyramid volume648 / 24 = 27The reason? Volume is a 3 dimensional quantity. The Larger pyramid is 3 times larger in terms of the base measurement.9 meters vs 3 meters - a factor of 3When we compare volumes, we have to cube this factor.3^3 = 27

The answers is 3/9 which you can check by reducing. It reduces to 1/3. Basically you go 1/3 = x/9 then cross multiple to get 9=3x do the division so 3x/3 and 9/3 and you get 3/9.
