Each of the dimensions of a pyramid are doubled. What is true about the volume of the new pyramid?

If the dimensions are doubled, the new pyramid is 8 times the original volume.

Find it by the formula v1=(1/3)*a*b*h
and when the dimensions are doubled, it will be v2=(1/3)*(2a)*(2b)*(2h)
By simplifying this we get: v2=(1/3)*{8}*abh

So, the new volume is 8 times more than original.

The dimensions of the new pyramid is 8 times the original volume.

How to calculate the volume of a pyramid?

The volume of the pyramid depends directly on the area of its base and its height, so the volume of any pyramid is equal to the area of the base times the height of the pyramid divided by three.

Knowing the formula of the pyramide is:

[tex]v1=(1/3)*a*b*h[/tex]

If the dimensions are doubled, it will be :

[tex]v2=(1/3)*(2a)*(2b)*(2h)[/tex]

So:

[tex]v2=(1/3)*(2a)*(2b)*(2h)\\v2=(1/3)*{8}*abh[/tex]

The new volume is 8 times more than original.
