Question

Pyramid A is a square pyramid with a base side length of 8 inches and a height of 9 inches. Pyramid B has a volume of 2,880 in3. How many times bigger is the volume of pyramid B than pyramid A?

Answer 1

The volume of Pyramid B is 15 times larger than the volume of Pyramid A. I hope this is correct!

Answer 2

Answer: 15 times larger

Step-by-step explanation: Here's the explanation if you're confused:

You first need to find the volume of Pyramid A with the Volume formula of a square pyramid which is: V=a² $\frac{h}{3}$ where a is the base edge, and h is the height.

Plugging in what we know: V = 8² x 9/3 = 192 in³.

From here, we need to compare the two volumes by dividing.

2,880 in³ ÷ 192 in³ = 15.

So, pyramid B's volume is 15 times bigger than the volume of Pyramid A.
