For similar similar figures/shapes,
if the ratio of corresponding lengths (the scale factor) is ,
the ratio of corresponding areas is , and
the ratio of corresponding volumes is .
So if the scale factor is ,
the volume of the larger prism is
times the volume of the smaller prism.
So the volume of the larger prism is .
