As already mentioned, the volume for a rectangular prism, namely a box in this case, is just the product of its dimensions, length * width * height.

\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=LWH\quad 
\begin{cases}
L=length\\
W=width\\
H=height\\
------\\
L=3\\
W=2\\
H=5\frac{1}{2}
\end{cases}\implies V=3\cdot 2\cdot 5\frac{1}{2}
\\\\\\
V=3\cdot 2\cdot \cfrac{5\cdot 2+1}{2}\implies V=6\cdot\cfrac{11}{2}\implies V=3\cdot \cfrac{11}{1}
\\\\\\
V=33

now, as far as another one... hmm is easier if you post in the channel, that way I can include any graphs if needed or tables and such.

so, what happens if you double up the dimensions?

\bf \textit{volume of a rectangular prism}\\\\
V=LWH\quad 
\begin{cases}
L=length\\
W=width\\
H=height\\
------\\
L=6\\
W=4\\
H=10
\end{cases}\implies V=6\cdot 4\cdot 10\implies V=240\\\\
-------------------------------\\\\
\begin{cases}
L=6(2)\\
W=4(2)\\
H=10(2)
\end{cases}\implies V=6(2)8(2)10(2)\implies V=(2)(2)(2)6\cdot 8\cdot 10
\\\\\\
V=(8)6\cdot 8\cdot 10\implies V=(8)\stackrel{original~volume}{240}

notice, how many times the new size is, is 8 times the original.

Composite Figures Question 9.<br> A. 57 ft <br> B. 288 ft<br> C. 208 ft<br> D. 264 ft
Elden [556K]

Answer:

D

Step-by-step explanation:

find area of first rectangle

18 x 6 = 108

find area of second rectangle

20 x 5 = 100

find area of two triangles

7 x 8 =56

56/2 = 28

each triangle has an area of 28

28+28+100+108 = 264ft

The Chocolate Shoppe has a rectangular logo for their business that
tigry1 [53]

The equation that calculates the unknown side length, M of the Chocolate Shoppe rectangular logo is A = 3.1H

<h3>How to determine the equation?</h3>

The parameters in the question are:

  • Logo: Rectangle
  • Height, H = 3 1/10 feet

Represent the area of the logo with A, and L represents the unknown side

The area (A) of the rectangle is calculated using:

A = H * L

Substitute 3 1/10 for H

A = 3 1/10 * H

Express the fraction as decimal

A = 3.1H

Hence, the equation that could be used to determine the unknown side length, M of the logo is A = 3.1H
