I hope someone can help me help her. Here's the question. A rectangular pyramid has a volume of 154 cubic meters. If the height is multiplied by 10 what is the volume of the new pyramid? Thanks for your help. Jennifer

the formula for the volume of a pyramid is v=bh/3
__ v is the volume, b is the area of the base, and h is the height

if h is multiplied by 10, then v is 10 times larger
