a)
Check the picture below.
b)
volume wise, we know the smaller pyramid is 1/8 th of the whole pyramid, so the volume of the whole pyramid must be 8/8 th.
Now, if we take off 1/8 th of the volume of whole pyramid, what the whole pyramid is left with is 7/8 th of its total volume, and that 7/8 th is the truncated part, because the 1/8 we chopped off from it, is the volume of the tiny pyramid atop.
Now, what's the ratio of the tiny pyramid to the truncated bottom?

Answer:

Answer:
Let two consecutive multiples of 3 be x and (x+3)
A/q,
x * (x+3) = 648
➡ x² + 3x = 648
➡ x² + 3x -648 = 0
➡ x² + 27x - 24x -648 = 0
➡ x ( x + 27 ) -24 ( x +27)
➡ ( x - 24) ( x + 27)
➡ x = 24 and x = -27
so, we take x = 24.
Required multiples of 3
➡ x = 24
➡ x +3 = 24+3 = 27.
