Question

A square pyramid has a volume of 20 cubic units. What would be the change to the volume if the dimensions of the square base were doubled?

Answer 1

The volume would be four times the original

Answer 2

The volume would be twice the original since the base area gets doubled. 13×(BaseArea)×Height Now, twice the Base Area would be : 13×(2)(BaseArea)×Height So, the entire thing gets doubled on the other side as well. Which means that 20 cubic units becomes 40 cubic units.
