    To compare the volumes of the prism we used the scale factor:

    volume scale factor = (linear scale factor) ³

    the linear scale factor of the prism is:

    (length of larger prism) / (length of smaller prism)

    =36/9

    =4

    thus the volume scale factor will be:

    4³=64

    hence the volume of the larger prism is 4 times that of the smaller prism.
