Answer:

Scale factor(k)defined as the ratio of image to the pre-image i,e

k = \frac{\text{Image}}{\text{Pre-image}}

Volume of a prism is given by:

V = A \cdot h

where

V is the volume of the prism

A is the base Area

h is the height.

As per the statement:

A prism with a base area of 3 m² and a height of 4 m

⇒Base area(A) =  3 m² and height(h) = 4 m

Then by definition of volume of prism

Volume of the original prism = 3 \cdot 4 = 12 m^3

Since, the prism is dilated by a factor of 3/2

⇒k = \frac{3}{2}

then by definition of scale factor:

k= \frac{\text{Dilated volume of prism}}{\text{Original prism}}

Substitute the given values we have;

\frac{3}{2} = \frac{\text{Dilated Volume of prism}}{12}

Multiply both sides by 12 we have;

\text{Volume of dilated prism} = 12 \cdot \frac{3}{2} = 6 \cdot 3 = 18 cubic meter

Therefore, the volume of dilated prism is, 18 m^3

Volume of Original Prism = base area * Height = 3 * 4 = 12

After dilation factor = 12 * 3/2 = 6 * 3 = 18

In short, Your Answer would be 18 m³

Hope this helps!

A one-stop flight from seattle to nyc can stop at boise, omaha, or chicago. the flight then connects to either la guardia or jfk
Sindrei [870]
The first and only stop of the flight can be Boise, Omaha or Chicago. This means there are 3 possibilities where to stop. From thee the flight connects to New York City, either to La Guardia or to JFK Airport.
1 possible route: Seattle-Boise-La Guardia
<span>2 possible route: Seattle-Omaha-La Guardia
</span><span>3 possible route: Seattle-Chicago-La Guardia
</span><span>4 possible route: Seattle-Boise-NYC
</span><span>5 possible route: Seattle-Omaha-NYC
</span><span>6 possible route: Seattle-Chicago-NYC
</span>
Or in other words: There are two airports where the flight can arrive and for each of them there are three possible routes. So, in total there are 2*3=6 possible routes.
