The formula you provided to find the volume of a pyramid is incorrect. The correct formula for the volume \( V \) of a pyramid is:
\[
V = \frac{1}{3} l w h
\]
where \( l \) is the length of the base, \( w \) is the width of the base, and \( h \) is the height of the pyramid.
When a three-dimensional object is dilated by a scale factor \( k \), the volumes of the original and dilated objects are related by the cube of the scale factor. Therefore, if the original volume is \( V \), the new volume \( V' \) after dilation by a scale factor of \( k \) is given by:
\[
V' = k^3 \times V
\]
In your case, if the scale factor is \( 2 \):
\[
V' = 2^3 \times V = 8V
\]
This means the new volume will be 8 times the original volume. If you know the original volume, just multiply it by 8 to find the new volume. If you have a specific original volume, please provide it, and I can calculate the new volume for you.

To provide you with the new volume after dilation, I need the original volume of the pyramid. However, I can show you how to calculate it based on a hypothetical original volume.
**Example:**
1. Let's say the original volume \( V \) of the pyramid is \( 10 \, \text{ft}^3 \) (this is just an example; you should replace it with the actual volume of your pyramid if you have it).
2. The scale factor \( k = 2 \).
3. Calculate the new volume \( V' \) using the formula:
\[
V' = k^3 \times V = 2^3 \times V = 8 \times V
\]
4. If \( V = 10 \, \text{ft}^3 \):
\[
V' = 8 \times 10 = 80 \, \text{ft}^3
\]
So, if the original volume were \( 10 \, \text{ft}^3 \), the new volume after dilation would be \( 80 \, \text{ft}^3 \).
Please provide the original volume (if you have it) for a specific answer!
