Answer:

A) 5.12mm³

Step-by-step explanation:

Step 1

Find the volume of the bigger pyramid

This is a triangular based pyramid.

The formula to use is given as Volume of Pyramid =

1/3 × Area of the triangle × Height

Area of the triangle = 1/2 × 3 mm × 4mm = 6mm²

Volume of the large pyramid = 1/3 × 6mm² × 5mm

= 10mm³

We are given the length of the small pyramid as 4mm

We would be using was is known as scale factor to find the volume of the small pyramid

The scale factor k = (Height of the small pyramid)³/ (Height of the Large pyramid)³

k = 4³/5³

k = Volume of small pyramid/ Volume of large pyramid

Volume of small pyramid = X

Volume of large pyramid = 10mm³

Hence,

4³/5³ = X/10

Cross Multiply

= 4³ × 10 = 5³ × X

X = (4³ × 10)/ 5³

X = 5.12mm³
