two pyramids are similar. the slant height of the smaller pyramid is 12cm and the slant height of the larger pyramid is 18 cm.
if the volume of the larger pyramid is 108 cm3 what is the volume of the smaller pyramid
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

From the condition, the similarity coefficient is  (smaller to larger).

Hence, he volume of the smaller pyramid is  of the volume of the larger pyramid, i.e.

 =  = 4*8 = 32 .
