Volume of original is 5x5x4 = 100
if ratio of sides is 6, then ratio of volumes is 6^3 = 216
so actual sculpture is 216 * 100 = 21600

asked 11/13/21A sculpture on the shape of a square-based pyramid is being added to the courtyard of a building. A scale model of the sculpture has base sides of 5 feet and a height of 4 feet. Determine the volume of the actual sculpture, which will be scaled up by a factor of 6.
Would either 3,600 or 100 be correct?

The volume of the actual sculpture is 63 times the volume of the model.
Thie same as my previous solution.
