Answer:

V = 162 ft³

Explanation:

given 2 similar figures with ratio of sides a : b , then

ratio of volumes is a³ : b³

here ratio of sides = 3 : 1 , then

ratio of volumes = 3³ : 1³ = 27 : 1

this means that the volume of figure A is 27 times the volume of figure B

volume (V) of figure A is then

V = 27 × 6 = 162 ft³
