Algebra.Com's Answer #541101 by Alan3354(69443)![]() ![]() You can put this solution on YOUR website! The volume of a pyramid is A*h/3 (A = base area) \n" ); document.write( "For a square base, A = s^2 (s = side length) \n" ); document.write( "--> \n" ); document.write( "------- \n" ); document.write( "If 1 dimension changes for a similar solid, all change by the same ratio. \n" ); document.write( "The change in h is 120/50 = 2.4x \n" ); document.write( "------ \n" ); document.write( "For B, \n" ); document.write( "33750*2.4^3 = 466560 cubic units \n" ); document.write( " |
