When corresponding lengths of similar solids are in a ratio ,
corresponding surface areas are in the ratio ,
and volumes are in the ratio .
The ratio of corresponding slant heights is .
So, the ratio of the volumes is .
The volume of the larger pyramid is the volume of the smaller pyramid.
The volume of the smaller pyramid is times the volume of the smaller pyramid, or
