Question

What is the ratio for the volumes of two similar Pyramids, given that the ratio of the edge lengths is 8:3?

Answer 1

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

Given that the ratio of side lengths = 8 : 3, then

ratio of volumes = 8³ : 3³ = 512 : 27 → D

Answer 2

ANSWER

The correct answer is option D.

EXPLANATION

The given pyramids are similar and the side lengths are in the ratio 8:3

Volume is in cubic units, therefore the volume of the two similar pyramids are in the ratio;

${8}^{3} : {3}^{3}$

This simplifies to

$512 : 27$

The correct answer is option D.
