Answer:

Step-by-step explanation:

Height (h₁) of one square pyramid = 12 m

A similar pyramid has a height h₂ = 6 m

(a)  Therefore scale factor of smaller pyramid to the larger pyramid = \frac{h_{2} }{h_{1}} = \frac{6}{12} =  1 : 2

(f)   Since ratio of the sides of smaller to larger pyramid is 1 : 2

so ratio of area of the bases = \frac{(1)^2}{(2)^2} = \frac{1}{4}

\frac{A_{2}}{A_{1}} = \frac{1}{4}

(g)  Ratio of volume of smaller to larger pyramid

\frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{(1)^3}{(2)^3} = \frac{1}{8}

(h)  Since \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{8} and V₁ = 400 m³

So  \frac{V_{2}}{V_{1}} = \frac{1}{8} ⇒ \frac{V_{2}}{400} = \frac{1}{8}

V₂ = \frac{400}{8} = 50 m³

Since the smaller pyramid's height is  6 and the larger pyramid's height is 12, the scale factor is 6/12=1/2

The scale factor for the base would be (1/2)^2 (since we're multiplying the sides, and each of them has a scale factor of 1/2)=1/4

For the volume, since we add another side with scale factor 1/2, we multiply 1/4 by 1/2 to get 1/8
