Answer:

Ration between the volumes = 64:729

Step-by-step explanation:

If two pyramids are similar and ratio between the lengths of their edges is 4:9

Then we have to tell the ration between their volumes.

Since volume of pyramid V=\frac{1}{3}l.w.h

Let length and width of pyramid one are l and w.

So volume of one pyramid V_{1}=\frac{1}{3}.l.w.h

Now by the ratio of 4:9, edges of the second pyramid will be

L_{2}=\frac{4l}{9}

W_{2}=\frac{4}{9}w

H_{2} =\frac{4}{9}h

Therefore volume of second pyramid  V_{2}=\frac{L_{2}.W_{2}.H_{2} }{3}=\frac{\frac{4l}{9}.\frac{4w}{9}.\frac{4h}{9}}{3}=(\frac{1}{3})(\frac{64}{729})l.w.h

Now ratio of volumes of both the pyramids = \frac{V_{2} }{V_{1}}=\frac{(\frac{64}{729})(\frac{1}{3} )l.w.h}{\frac{1}{3}l.w.h}= 64:729

Answer is 64:729 will be the ratio of their volumes.
