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!

Answer:

The base angles theorem converse states if two angles in a triangle are congruent, then the sides opposite those angles are also congruent. The Isosceles Triangle Theorem states that the perpendicular bisector of the base of an isosceles triangle is also the angle bisector of the vertex angle.

bezimeni [28]

Answer:

-2 and 3 along the horizontal line

Step-by-step explanation:

There are two axes, plural for axis; the two main lines. The one that runs vertically is the y axis and the one that runs horizontally is the x axis. Now when you see the parabola which is the curve, it meets at three points. The points are -2 , 6, and 3. the ones we are focusing on are the -2 and 3 since they are the numbers/points on the x axis
