Answer:
B by a factor of about 5.208
Explanation:
Given two right square pyramids (A and B) with perimeters 396 m and 496 m, and corresponding heights of 72 m and 239 m, you want to which has the greater volume and by what factor.
Volume
The volume of a right square pyramid is proportional to its height and to the square of its perimeter.
Pyramid B has both a longer perimeter and a greater height, so Pyramid B has the greater volume.
Ratio
The constant of proportionality between the dimensions and the volume is the same for both pyramids, so the ratio of their volumes is ...
Vb/Va = ((Pb)²Hb)/((Pa)²Ha) = (496²·239)/(396²·72) ≈ 5.208
Pyramid B has about 5.2 times the volume of Pyramid A.

Additional comment
The volume of a right square pyramid is given by ...
V = 1/3s²h . . . . . where s is the side length and h is the height
V = 1/3(P/4)²h = (1/48)P²h . . . . where P is the perimeter of the base
