If the volume of a certain pyramid is x and another pyramid is made which is 7 times larger (that is, all the linear dimensions have been increased by a factor of 7), what is the volume of the new pyramid (in terms of x)?

Respuesta :

Answer:

14

Step-by-step explanation:

The volume of the new pyramid is given by:

[tex]V = 343x[/tex]

The volume of a pyramid of radius r and height h is given by:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi r^2h}{3}[/tex]

Initially, we suppose that the volume is x, that is:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi r^2h}{3} = x[/tex]

Then, dimensions are multiplied by 7, that is, [tex]r = 7r[/tex] and [tex]h = 7h[/tex], thus:

[tex]V = \frac{\pi (7r)^2(7h)}{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = 343\frac{\pi r^2h}{3}[/tex]

[tex]V = 343x[/tex]
