The ratio of volumes is 5
9514 1404 393
Answer:
5
Step-by-step explanation:
The volume of a right square pyramid is given by the formula …
V = 1/3Bh
where B is the area of the base.
The volume of the larger pyramid will be …
V’ = 1/3(5B)h
So, the ratio of volumes is …
V’/V = (1/3(5B)h)/(1/3Bh)
V’/V = 5
The ratio of volumes is 5.
