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!

Carys is checking her tax bill for the last year .the tax rates were as follows: no tax on the first 11000 of earnings .earnings
faust18 [17]

Answer:

$7,440.

Step-by-step explanation:

We have been given the tax rates as follows:

$0-$11,000 = No tax.

$11,000-$43,000 = 20%.

$43,000-$150,000 = 40%.

Earnings over $150,000 = 45%.

Since last year Carys earned $45,600, so we will have to find the tax paid by her for 11,000-43,000 at rate of 20%, then the tax for amount over 43,000 at the rate of 40%.

\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for 11000-43000}=\frac{20}{100}\times (43,000-11,000)  

\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for 11000-43000}=0.20\times (32,000)

\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for 11000-43000}=6400

\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for the amount over 43000}=\frac{40}{100}\times (45,600-43,000)

\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for the amount over 43000}=0.40\times (2600)

\text{The amount of tax paid by Carys for the amount over 43000}=1040

\text{The total amount of tax paid by Carys}=6400+1040

\text{The total amount of tax paid by Carys}=7440

Therefore, Carys paid an amount of $7,440 in tax.
