Use the image to answer the question.

2 similarly shaped wedge polyhedrons labeled Figure upper A and Figure upper B.

Image Long DescriptionFigure upper A shows a triangle labeled with height of 27.5 feet and base of 27.5 feet. A face is labeled with a length of 55 feet. Figure upper B shows a triangle labeled with height of 5.5 feet and base of 5.5 feet. A face is labeled with a length of 11 feet.

The volume of a triangular prism with the area of the triangular base B and height h can be found using the formula V=Bh
. Calculate and compare the volume of the two figures in the image. Choose which statement is true.

The linear scale factor is 27.5/5.5 = 5, so the volume scale factor is 5^3 = 125. Thus the volumes are in the ratio 125:1.
