To find the volume of a similar rectangular pyramid given a scale factor, you need to cube the scale factor and multiply it by the volume of the original pyramid.
If the original volume of the pyramid is denoted as \( V \) and the scale factor is \( k = 23 \), then the volume of the new pyramid \( V' \) can be calculated using the formula:
\[
V' = V \times k^3
\]
1. First, calculate \( k^3 \):
\[
k^3 = 23^3 = 12,167
\]
2. Then multiply the original volume \( V \) by \( 12,167 \) to get the new volume \( V' \).
However, you haven't provided the original volume \( V \) for the pyramid, which is needed to obtain the final value for \( V' \). If you know the original volume, please provide that value. Otherwise, if we assume a specific volume for the original pyramid, we could compute the new volume accordingly.
If you provide the original volume, I can help calculate the new volume using the scale factor.
