Scale factor is used by architects or engineers to transfer their prototype idea to large-scale use. If the volume of a prism is 20, you need to multiply its dimensions with a scale factor to find the new volume which is 540. For example, if the volume is doubled, this means you used a scale factor of 2. Hence, you just have to divide the new volume by the smaller volume.

Scale factor = 540/20
Scale factor = 27

Answer:

The scale factor is 3 : 1.

Step-by-step explanation:

We know that,

The scale factor of the dilation of a prism is the cube root of the ratio of the volume of resultant prism after dilation and the volume of the given prism,

Here, the volume of prism before dilation = 20 cube unit,

And, the volume of the prism after dilation = 540 cube unit,

Thus, by the above statement,

\text{The scale factor of dilation}=\sqrt[3]{\frac{540}{20}}

=\sqrt[3]{27}

=3

Hence, the scale factor is 3 : 1.

HELP ASAP!!<br>The equation (blank) has no solution​
KengaRu [80]

Answer:

Just to recap, an equation has no solution when it results in an incorrect "equation".

For  example:

Equation: x+3 = x+4

Subtract x: 3 = 4???

But clearly, 3 is not equal to 4, so this equation has NO SOLUTION.

Now onto our problem:

13y+2-2y = 10y+3-y

11y+2 = 9y+3

2y=1

y=1/2

9(3y+7)-2 = 3(-9y+9)

27y+61 = -27y+27

54y = -34

y = -34/54

32.1y+3.1+2.4y-8.2=34.5y-5.1

34.5-5.1=34.5y-5.1

5.1=5.1

infinite solutions

5(2.2y+3.4) = 5(y-2)+6y

11y+17 = 11y-10

17 = -10??

That's not true, so the option "5(2.2y+3.4) = 5(y-2)+6y" has no solution.

Let me know if this helps
