How will the volume of the pyramid change if each side is multiplied by a factor of One-half?

The volume will be 2 times the original volume.
The volume will be 8 times the original volume.
The volume will be One-fourth times the volume.
The volume will be One-eighth times the volume.

Answer:

The volume will be One-eighth times the volume.

Explanation:

Well the formula for the volume of pyramid is,


(lwh)/(3),

We can make the base length and width 6 units and the height 6 units too.

= 72

6 * 1/2 = 3

3*3*3

=18

18 / 3 = 6

So now we make a fraction 6/72,

3/36

1/12

1 ÷ 12 = .08333333

Thus,

the volume of the new pyramid is 1/8 times the volume.

Hope this helps :)
