\r\n" );
document.write( "For similar 3D solids, the ratio of their volumes is the cube of the ratio of their respective linear dimensions.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Since in this problem the ratio of linear dimensions is  ,  the ratio of their volumes is  .\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "Therefore, the volume of the larger pyramid is   =  = 213   cm^3.\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "\r\n" );
document.write( "ANSWER.  The larger pyramid volume is   213    cm^3.\r\n" );
