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( "--> \"Vol+=+s%5E2%2Ah%2F3\"
\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, \"Vol+=+%282.4s%29%5E2%2A%282.4h%29%2F3+=+2.4%5E3%2A%28Vol+of+A%29\"
\n" ); document.write( "33750*2.4^3 = 466560 cubic units
\n" ); document.write( "
\n" );
