Answer:
Step-by-step explanation:
Problem 1
<h3>Answer:
104 cubic inches</h3>
----------------------
Explanation:
The prisms are similar so they have the same shape, but different sizes.
The linear scale factor from small to large is:
large/small = 10/4 = 2.5
Meaning that we multiply each dimension of the smaller prism by 2.5 to get the corresponding side length of the larger prism
4*2.5 = 10
This linear scale factor is then cubed to get the volume scale factor
(2.5)^3 = 15.625
Which tells us:
larger volume = 15.625*(smaller volume)
smaller volume = (larger volume)/15.625
smaller volume = (1625)/15.625
smaller volume = 104 cubic inches
========================================================
Problem 2
<h3>Answer: 650 square inches</h3>
----------------------
Explanation:
We will go back to the linear scale factor of 2.5
This time, we square it to get (2.5)^2 = 6.25
This is the surface area scale factor.
larger surface area = 6.25*(smaller surface area)
larger surface area = 6.25*(104)
larger surface area = 650 square inches
Answer: Option C.
Step-by-step explanation:
You need to find the distance AB with the formula for calculate the distance between two points:
Then, substituting the coordinates of the points A(1,1) and B(4,1), you get:
You know that A'B'=6, then the scale factor of dilation can be calculated with:
Substituting values, you get:
This matches with the option C.
Use a unit rate! You can use the rate assignments/hour, meaning how many assignments will you do every hour. This can be written as 8/5 (assignments/hours), or 8/6 (depending on how many hours you give yourself. If you wanted to simplify. you could divide the fractions.
8/5 would become 1.6 (1.6 assignments per hour)
8/6 would become 4/3 (4/3 assignments per hour)
